Pros

Facilities are top notch. Lots of technical support

Cons

Too much science directed towards application and users.. Most discoveries made by professors who use lab resources and are supported by their home institutions. Think about this when considering a long term position here.

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.
