Pros

If one has a good manager, Stanford is a very pleasant place to work and a person can feel as if they are really making a difference.

Cons

If one has an abusive, manager who gossips about their employees and who is mentally abusive, Stanford is a miserable place to work.

Pros

Colorful scenery, abundant shuttles to and from campus.

Cons

There are many downsides working in this department and this pertains to upper management. LBRE (Land, Buildings & Real Estate) particularly hires people who prefers directing people than rolling up their sleeves to help out when the time is needed. They are completely siloed and are not team players. There's no "I" in team. There was one instance where a customer needed help, which was provided, yet they still complained. When management got wind of this, there was no fact finding on what really happened nor what next steps should be. They would rather throw the support personnel under the bus. Why would anyone want to work for a place that does this to their employees? This environment doesn't reward you, but gives the opposite effect.
