Pros
• Being part of a prestigious organization. • Being part of an intellectual community. • Being around college students. They keep you young at heart. • Entrepreneurial spirit; Lots of opportunities to try new ideas, projects. . . • Good benefits. • Fairly stable work environment. During a recession Stanford becomes an island of relative stability. During boom times, Stanford pay is not competitive. . . • Great access to sports facilities
Cons
• Highly decentralized environment, hard to know what other offices are doing. Its like we're all working in different silos. Cooperation and and collaboration are challenging goals. • Pay could be better.
