Pros

Working at Stanford looks good on your resume. The campus is beautiful. There are a lot of opportunities to enjoy nature. There are many departments to work in. People are impressed by Stanford.

Cons

Politics are rampant. Management is a power struggle. It's all about "Me." The departments of Stanford are like totally seperate companies. There needs to be more cooperation. For cooperation to happen, they need to set politics aside, and think about what's right for Stanford.

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.
