Pros

It is mind-blowing to see innovations and new technologies happen at the LBNL. Many renowned scientists and professors are working and making changes to the world. It is very honorable to work with such people and though salary level is not competitive, there is good benefit.

Cons

The laboratory is not like industrial corporation. There is very strict deadlines (there should be for any corporations), and if not met, fundings are at stake.
