      Pros

      Very nice location: full of nature and it's just behind a quiet Berkeley residence area (north side of the campus). Frequent shuttle service so you don't need a car if you live in Berkeley area or don't mind commuting. Reasonably good pay as it is a national lab. Great machine/electronic shops with skilled engineers. Full of options to search for spare parts or NIM modules!

      Cons

      If you drive a car to your work, getting a parking space is a pain. You must come very early in the morning, and you cannot leave in mid-day because someone will take your spot...

      Pros

      Great benefits, support the advancement of science and the people working to solve the problems of the world

      Cons

      The science may be cutting edge, but the operations is back in the 70's. Fiefdoms are everywhere including HR. Some senior managers rule by fear and spying. Whatever you do, don't ask questions. People who thrive here will stay for 30 years (or already have).
