      Pros

      resources of government lab without as strict of regulations. Very accommodating to student schedules. Opens up a whole new network of connections unavailable at Berkeley. Easy access from campus

      Cons

      It is still a national lab with plenty of regulations and bureaucracy (excessive and frequent training courses is just 1 example).

      Pros

      Good pay, great people: the employees are generally very grateful to be at LBNL and they share that passion with the people around them. Excellent work opportunities: some of the most cutting edge research is performed here, the projects you find yourself involved in are hard to match elsewhere.

      Cons

      Individuals without phd's are not valued much by the organization. The career structure of the lab is targeted towards advanced degrees and it does not provide much room for advancement for those with only a Bachelors degree.
