Pros

I got to do hands-on research that I would otherwise need a higher degree for. I also made a ton of connections throughout the lab. The work atmosphere is pretty laid back, but that just depends on your research group.

Cons

Not really any cons. It's pretty hilly but that makes for a good workout!

Pros

Great place to start your career. Lots of activities to enjoy in the area, beside your work

Cons

The actual salary is not too bad but due to the high living-cost and housing price in Bay area, your financial situation will be tough

Pros

Innovative and cross-disciplinary. You'll be exposed to the best in science in terms of people and resources. If you like academic research, but hate the mismanagement and paltry resources that come along with it at most colleges and universities, this is a great place.

Cons

Full time positions are hard to get, in fact practically nonexistent.If you are a contractor, expect to stay a contractor. There is no path to moving up in the institution and people to fill any open positions will almost always come from external sources. Funding is dependent upon the federal government's whims.
