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.
