Pros

The bulk of the employees are great people.

Cons

Much of the Medical Center Development (MCD) management makes employees feel as if they should be honored to work at Stanford. There is an air of elitism, especially around the concept that they are fundraising for the good of the people. Even though they are underpaid and worked under unreal expectations, there seems to be disbelief that employees are leaving for other opportunities. The toxic environment of MCD inevitably leads to high turnover.

Pros

The weather at best. I can't say much more. It is a great place to go if you are a sociopath that wants to make a lot of money and meet fellow Patrick Bateman types.

Cons

A toxic working environment. Situated in a very difficult to navigate suburban environment. Very little social life for young students and professionals. Very little soul. People here are self, rather than group oriented. Corruption is rampant, especially among the professors; famously this even includes our former president.
