Pros

Beautiful campus, living wage, good benefits, and a chance to learn about fundraising from an institution that raises more money than any other university.

Cons

Huge bureaucracy, change is very slow if not impossible, questionable hires by senior managment, easy to get pigeonholed, and a surprising lack of willingness to help employees attain work/life balance.

There is a wealth of great minds and great programs at Stanford. There is also a great career center for post-docs and the do a great job helping you transition into a career. Definitely a good place to work.

Sometimes because it's so big you can get lost in the shuffle. It will be up to you to make things happen for yourself.
