Pros

Great people, smart people. They bring the best people from industry for talks. Can't really ask for more at Berkeley.

Cons

Politics! Hands down the amount of politics and games that departments play is so much. Bureaucracy at its peak.

Pros

Beautiful location, you oversee the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and SF. Research environment, great bridge for academics to transition to a more applied research. Benefits quite good

Cons

Low wages, especially in the scientific staff. Basically no career progression. Offices are a mixed bags (some departments have brand new buildings, others have very old buildings). Do not rely on their immigration services to get anything beyond temporary work visas.
