Pros

The research going at UCLA is on the cutting edge of new developments and ideas. As an institution they do make healthy programs (like stress management, exercise groups, etc.) available to employees and advocate work/life balance but your experience will depend much more on the group (such as lab, research group or department) you work with.

Cons

Transportation and parking. Most of the research work is within the academic series or grant funded. Directors of centers have a lot of leeway to set the tone for their group and this can as asset or a problem.
