Pluspunten

Benefits, including pension. Some scientific environments are excellent.

Minpunten

Lack of diversity (absence of underrepresented minorities and women in scientific environments and senior leadership), creation of powerless committees to address lack of diversity while senior leadership continues to engage in self-replication). "Black box" decision making (little to no consultation with subordinates; little explanation of decisions). An odd, strikingly conservative management style, with far too many bureaucrats and bureaucratese. As other organizations flatten, LBL continues to favor steep hierarchy akin to the military. A real contrast to most university environments, with little humor and/or irony evident and a pronounced white male culture.

Pluspunten

Beautiful location, you oversee the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and SF. Research environment, great bridge for academics to transition to a more applied research. Benefits quite good

Minpunten

Low wages, especially in the scientific staff. Basically no career progression. Offices are a mixed bags (some departments have brand new buildings, others have very old buildings). Do not rely on their immigration services to get anything beyond temporary work visas.
