Business Outlook
Pros
Simply put, the benefits. The benefits offered by Stanford University to every employee are competitive with some of the best companies in the world. The retirement plan offers double matching of the first 5% contributed. There are multiple health care packages to choose from, offering a spectrum of options. Educational benefits are also offered, and any class on campus may be audited. Public transportation passes are offered for free to employees. Good academic atmosphere.
Cons
Pay is not very competitive with other companies. Like any huge institution, bureaucracy can be extremely annoying. Driving on campus is discouraged as much as possible, so parking can be a challenge.
