Business Outlook
Pros
Stanford is a world class University but unlike most of the Ivy League caliber places in America. Stanford is in California where the weather is great. I worked with some very brilliant people and my skillset grew as a result. Also benefits were very generous. Also telling others you work for Stanford usually get's a 'wow' which I have to admit was a good feeling
Cons
There are some people there who are too into being elite and are very judgmental. Unless they think you have some connections or wealth they won't give you the time of day. Also working for any University there is an element of Bureaucracy and doing things a certain way because that's the policy even if it doesn't make sense.
