      Pros

      The Molecular Foundry is a great place to work, and LBNL is pretty great employer. Benefits are good. Life/work balance is openly supported in most parts of LBNL and definitely at the Foundry. I felt very supported during my maternity leave and as a working mother. The location is *beautiful.* The majority of people are friendly and brilliant. The science is off the charts. I love it there.

      Cons

      The cafeteria sucks. There are definitely a few challenging personalities to contend with. Getting there on public transport is really slow. Parking can be difficult.

      Pros

      Lot's of freedom and name recognition, opportunity to work on cutting edge projects. Fairly nice location, decent benefits and good career development support.

      Cons

      Let's be real, it is difficult to live in the bay area with this salary. Half of mine is going to rent. But what's a government lab to do ? Very little opportunity for permanent positions. More minor issues: you have to deal with some standard government bureaucracy and the HR department is.... an HR department, so lower your expectations.
