Pros

I enjoyed working at Gladstone. The facilities are top notch and the ability to access other amenities through UCSF is unique.

Cons

I was a UCSF graduate student there but I feel that Gladstone, in general, is a little bit more geared towards post docs and staff scientists. That said, it varies lab to lab and there were a ton of great graduate student-heavy labs there.
