Pros

They have pretty good benefits and good internal administration. They have an abundance of projects and opportunities for you to seek out in case you want to do any career movement. The pay is pretty good, especially if you can start working here as a student and work your way up.

Cons

The independent labs are pretty far apart and due to the nature of some projects, things can be a little hush-hush. They could instill more sense of community since so many people are employed here.

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...
