      Pros

      Stanford has a great mission in its research and teaching. It's is very friendly to those who use public transit. It's is a beautiful place to work, though many non-academic jobs are being shifted off campus.

      Cons

      Each work group is very different, so employee experiences vary widely. Some depend upon external funding and the success of the group in securing and maintaining such funding.

      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.
