Pros

Great place to collaborate with people and users from different filed of science and get to know and work on the most important challenge in the world. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Without a solid funding support, career plan can be obscured and less of protection. Find the funding resources here can be challenging sometimes because they have to fit to the DOE mission.

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.
