Pros

Berkeley lab has world class researchers but pays less than other national labs in the area. They say the view makes up for this...

Cons

Lower pay. Aging facilities. Difficult parking. Funding never a sure thing.

Pros

Beautiful location, you oversee the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and SF. Research environment, great bridge for academics to transition to a more applied research. Benefits quite good

Cons

Low wages, especially in the scientific staff. Basically no career progression. Offices are a mixed bags (some departments have brand new buildings, others have very old buildings). Do not rely on their immigration services to get anything beyond temporary work visas.
