Pros

Fantastic institution with a number of resources to do research and lead discoveries in science. UCLA has a proven track record as one the leading research institutions in the nation.

Cons

As a postdoc you work long hours with little pay, if there was an hourly wage for the work that we do, it would be quite low.

Great health insurance - I'm told it's really quite fire (no lie) Great location - love Westwood (sandwiched by Brentwood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills) Union is tremendously supportive

Cons

Campus dining options are kinda weak - breaks my heart to eat the same thing every day
