Business outlook
Pros
It's a lovely campus, like working in a park, and the faculty are great to work with. The benefits are very good. Negotiate the best salary you can, as annual increases are low. The way to make a good salary at Stanford is to job jump, or market the Stanford name on your resume.
Cons
Once hired, bad managers don't get fired. I've had two managers, one with real anger management issues and the other some employees believe has some form of Asperger's. HR is well aware of these problems via info from departing employees, but does nothing. It's not an uncommon problem at Stanford. If you have a good manager, Stanford is a great place to work. If you don't, you just need to leave because the situation won't change.
