      Pros

      Berkeley Lab is a Research organization. The culture here is very different. It isn't a competitive environment like in industry. Everyone is very collaborative. My manager is extremely supportive. It's very family friendly. I was also pleasantly surprised at the Career Opportunities available for those that seek it. This is a place where you can grow if you so desire....OR not if you so desire. It's accepting of the different paths you might want to take. Unlike in industry where it's either you move up or out.

      Cons

      Things take longer to get done around here. Some might call it slow. It lacks a sense of urgency. It is a legacy culture -- things have been done the same way forever and people don't question it much. Pay is obviously lower than in industry but you are trading that in for a terrific lifestyle.

      Pros

      The lab is comprised of so many intelligent and talented people you should always be surrounded by a great team.

      Cons

      Government bureaucracy is real, and it can be annoying to both navigate and manage.
