Pros

The Lab is a great place to be working towards your PhD. The facilities are of course top notch, and people are excited to contribute to Science, which make this a great place to make your teeth in Science.

Cons

While fairly protected at my level, I can tell politics do play a role at the Lab. Also, it is sometimes difficult to assess self performance as indicators are not available for student positions.

Pros

Always can find right person who can help you out of the problem, share the thoughts and get some idea from others. A lot of ways to get what you want fast.

Cons

Cafeteria won't open during the dinner time and weekend, making a real problem for the food when the experiments go late.

Pros

Collaborative environment. On the operations side, the lab works hard to try to stay up to date with industry, in spite of being a UC/DOE run entity. In terms of careers, successful individuals find their value and create worth through looking beyond immediate work.

Cons

Some of the science side of the lab has little or no value for operations and little interest in developing a peer relationship. Salary.
