Pros

The bay area is a great place to work. At Stanford, you can walk, or ride your bike to work everyday. The research here is very good. If you want to do important work, this is one of the few places in the country to do it.

Cons

This place is a big pond, and while the people are great, everyone is very individualistic. It is hard to start and maintain collaborations because people are so focused on their own projects.
