Undoubtedly, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is a great place to do scientific research and build a career, especially as a postdoc. The facilities are impressive.

Cons

The cost of living in the bay area is incredibly expensive and the postdoc salaries do not reflect this particular fact. Finding affordable and comfortable housing is a challenge and an overwhelming con.
