Pros

You can work with many smart scientists from different fields/backgrounds. The reputation of Berkeley Lab will promote your academic/professional career to a much higher level.

Cons

Even though the salary is higher than a lot of postdoc appointments in universities, it's barely enough to support the rental cost in bayarea. It can more difficult if you have dependents.
