Pros

Very generous benefits, including the UC retirement plan. The environment and culture are also great. A lot of attention to safety. The level of the research is generally high.

Cons

There is no daycare on site. Considering the size of the lab it would be a valid addition to the facility. Funding issues can put a lot of pressure on the staff.

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.
