Pros

This is the elite of academia Profit is not the motive training and professional adv budgets are good currently college tuition benefits for children of staff is re-imbursed at 50% of Stanford tuition

Cons

It can get political - various kingdoms I have been seeking career advancement on a technical (non managerial) track and was assured by the director 4 years ago this was possible. Well, 4 years ago I am still waiting for an update in my job title (I have increased my value via certifications and accomplishments 10x)
