Pros

It's the government. It has a lot of money. It also offers a free shuttle system around Berkeley during the week.

Cons

It's the government. People there are not willing to help you and there is a lot of red tape. You have to go off-site to get a lunch, unless you want to risk the cafeteria.

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.
