Pros

I work surrounded by very smart people. Stanford drives a significant amount of the innovation that it's seen here in Silicon Valley.

Cons

In general, no downsides. The only downside is that you have to work a lot, and be thinking all the time about your work, so it leaves little time for other activities. But if you love your work and you are surrounded by people that understand it and respect it, that's fine.
