      Pros

      You're a Stanford University employee, with all the benefits that entails. If you work in a science area, you can do exciting, leading-edge research with very bright people.

      Cons

      Heaven help you if you don't work on scientific research: you'll be hounded by bureaucrats who don't like any idea that hasn't originated with them, don't know how to collaborate, have no interest in or appreciation of the lab's research, and aren't interested in two-way communication, only in giving orders. The new Director has his work cut out for him.

      The opportunity to contribute to high-impact scientific research while collaborating with a dedicated, intelligent team was truly rewarding.

      Cons

      Workload consistently increased while resources simultaneously diminished, creating a lack of backup personnel for key roles, and significant operational silos between departments hindered cross-functional collaboration.
