Pros

Tons of smart talented coworkers. An effective Postdoc Union. Challenging work. Salary increased frequently.

Cons

My work location was in Emeryville rather than on the hill. This was good du to its proximity to Berkeley Bowl grocery store, but was not the "true" Berkeley Lab experience. Compensation was not initially adequate for cost of living in the Bay Area, but was adjusted upward.

Pros

Competitive salary and health insurance for a postdoc, compared to any other place in the US. Great and safe culture and environment for creativity.

Cons

Because it is great to be a postdoc in Berkeley Lab, many postdocs stay longer than average in the lab.
