Stanford University reviews

Most political place you will ever work and suprisingly very unethical. HR is only worried about being sued, which happens frequently. Layoffs are by just cause which leads to entitlement of employees and very little output.

-Hiring relatives or friends for open positions is very common. No selection process in place. In turn, depts end up with inexperienced employees. -HR and ELR should do internal audits in departments that do not have an HR Manager present in their building. You would be surprised how many managers and supervisors are unaware of HR policies and procedures. -Employees that have been their 10yrs or more - extremely comfortable individuals, not open to change, sense of self entitlement, seniority. -Stanford does not like to fire people. Even though it is clear that the employee is not fit for the position or is not performing to dept's expectations. -Administrative Associates are not paid well at Stanford. Managers like to give bonuses or the minimum allowable % for the year.
