      Pros

      Good benefits and high safety culture. The quality of research is top notch and so are the scientists.

      Cons

      Pay raise is difficult, few opportunities for promotion, unrealistic number of publications you are expected to put out every year

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Often many smart people and continuous access to smart UC Berkeley students that flow through. Opportunity to do interesting, impactful and sometimes important work. Opportunities for building professional contacts and reputation. Relaxed environment and great setting.

      Cons

      Highly political (but where not?), many egos to deal with, little close parking, old buildings, many staff who did great work once but do little but collect $ now.

      Pros

      Smart people. Grand vision. Exciting research and diverse facilities. Great views.

      Cons

      Huge egos abound. Political winds blow its mission around. No parking or good eating options outside of expensive (and declining) cafeterias. Extremely high cost of living and somewhat suffocating Berkeley environment.
