Pros
The lab itself was an interesting place to work. The science that goes on there is mind blowing and most everyone there is really friendly. I enjoyed being given the freedom to learn and grow personally and professionally. The benefits are stellar, though, that's mostly due to the association through Stanford.
Cons
Constant budget cuts due to federal funding, several layoffs during my time there and more often than not the hardest workers were laid off while the laziest stayed, usually due to having been there for 20+ years. Constantly being forced to do more with less. The leadership of the lab is hesitant to change and money always goes to the science first with little to no regard for the underlying infrastructure.
