Pros

People are great, and what you get to work on is amazing. Work here for those reasons alone. Physics department pays it's postdocs above national average. Benefits are fine to mediocre. The coverage itself is fine, but the insurance company UC system relies on is terrible and unhelpful. It's currently difficult to get food at the lab, and most of us are still remote. I will gladly bump the rating up to 4 stars when the cafeteria opens again.

Cons

Low pay and benefits. Cafeteria used to be amazing, is closed now. Only a single food truck.

Pros

The view from the hills is nice.

Cons

The pay is higher than at a university, but it won't keep up with Bay Area cost of living. It doesn't matter how hard you work or what your degree is, no one will care. Even when they have money, you will get nothing.
