Pros

Great pay for college student interested in a career in research. The lab and scientists are some of the best in the world so there is much to learn.

Cons

None of the cons are related to the research of purpose of the job. The cafeteria and cafe need to be open for much longer hours than 2pm.

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.
