Great job at Stanford

Pros

I was very pleased to work at Stanford because I had an unbelievably supportive manager, and the opportunity to learn and grow at my job.

Cons

Sometimes, however, my manager was scattered and unorganized. Because it is such a big university, you have to be able to be self-directed enough to blaze your own path at your job.

Pros

Very good benefits, relaxing environment, good coworkers, and convenient location. Low stress level, students are easy to get along with.

Cons

Pay is a bit below market, management can be slow to respond to changing conditions. I am confident that things will get better in the future.

Pros

Great name, great weather. There are lots of smart people, many opportunities to work on interesting things and be involved in important projects.

Cons

The place can be competitive. Things are always in flux as new building are added, departments shrunk and grown. It's a big place -- depending on where you end up, you can get lost.
