Pros

Collaborative environment. On the operations side, the lab works hard to try to stay up to date with industry, in spite of being a UC/DOE run entity. In terms of careers, successful individuals find their value and create worth through looking beyond immediate work.

Cons

Some of the science side of the lab has little or no value for operations and little interest in developing a peer relationship. Salary.

Pros

Cool work, big budgets. The lab has the potential to get the most out of graduate student researchers (its better when the division head is also a professor).

Cons

No clear vision for work, no freedom to find own way. Instead of allowing grad students to explore out of the way ideas, they are treated as cheap labor.
