Pros

My supervisor encourages me to find new approaches to solve problems. Unlike other workplaces, my colleagues are all working on different projects, so I don't experience the same level of adversity.

Cons

The salary is too high for me, so I have to take unpaid leaves in order to lower my tax bracket. Once you start your position, you are pretty much stuck with it for life.

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.
