Pros

There are some very interesting projects going on. If you can get in on one or more of these, lucky you. As part of Stanford University, the benefits are good but the pay is on the low side.

Cons

If you have a PhD or are a manager, your set. If not, you do not have a career, you have a job. It is managers and the PhDs that get the real glory, respect and recognition. The people who sweat and do the work get a "spot award" at best. What a joke. Poor budgeting and planning often results in mandatory vacation use and layoffs.

Pros

Great team environment. In my time there, it seemed liked everyone in the Supply Chain Management really were just one big family.

Cons

Inter-departmental drama: Engineers don't cooperate with the buyers who don't cooperate with the finance folks who don't cooperate with everyone else. Etc.
