Business Outlook
Pros
Pay is much lower than local equivalent industry jobs and as a nonprofit there are no RSUs or other equity opportunities. Retirement matching is decent. Tuition benefit is good when you qualify.
Cons
Bureaucracy and the Stanford Process can be maddening. Creates cutting edge 21st century business thinkers while operating in a very 20th century manner. Academia, especially at a large R1 school, is an odd mix of feudalism, corporatism, and socialism.
