      Pros

      High Tech facility to use, Cutting edge advance work in many fields, You meet many great minds, Mostly amicable colleagues, Senior authority people are quite encouraging to new scientists and students to do better and explore beyond, Many helpful resources available for career development, Management works here to help you and work with you to solve a problem and not to create nuisance.

      Cons

      Bureaucratic approvals take unexpected and unavoidable long time, Salary as a postdoc is very low to survive well in bay area, compared to other National lab postdocs who work in Bay area (Ex: Sandia, Livermore, PNNL etc.).

      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.
