Pros

People are great, and what you get to work on is amazing. Work here for those reasons alone. Physics department pays it's postdocs above national average. Benefits are fine to mediocre. The coverage itself is fine, but the insurance company UC system relies on is terrible and unhelpful. It's currently difficult to get food at the lab, and most of us are still remote. I will gladly bump the rating up to 4 stars when the cafeteria opens again.

Cons

Low pay and benefits. Cafeteria used to be amazing, is closed now. Only a single food truck.

Large organizations can have multiple layers of review and approval, which may slow decision-making. Processes and documentation requirements can be extensive, especially for safety and compliance purposes. Project priorities can shift based on funding and organizational needs, requiring flexibility and adaptability.
