Pros

You get a fair bit of freedom, the campus is pretty, access to seminars and smart people

Cons

living on soft money is painful. In my field (applied energy sciences), the funders fund uninspiring work and micromanage projects. It's not LBNL's fault, but the whole environment stifles creativity.
