Pros

Working at LBL as part time employee, while still an Undergrad was a nice experience. The hours were flexible and you go to experience what working for a government lab doing full time research was like.

Cons

Since it's a government facility, getting things approved took forever. The work progress was pretty slow.

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.
