A high-reputation institution yet not suitable for everyone - Researcher Lawrence Berkeley Lab Employee Review

Interesting work and beautiful environment

Space can be a bit tight

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

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.
