Pros

Close to campus-frequent shuttle to bring you up the hill Awesome hands on experience performing research Provides an opportunity to participate in world class work Decent pay for a student Amazing views from the hill

Cons

Research can be tedious and soul crushing... but it's not Lawrence Berkely Lab's fault! The routes that the shuttle takes are no optimized in my opinion but this is a small issue

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.
