Pros

LBNL offers a collaborative environment, beautiful campus, many clubs and organizations to join, dynamic academically oriented site. Senior administration very supportive. There are many opportunities to perform outreach in the neighboring cities.

Cons

Parking on the "hill" is huge challenge. Positions are typically funded under government grants so positions are not as stable as one would like.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
