Business outlook
Pros
Good work/life balance Flexible work hours Good salary Free CalTrain sticker and Clipper card to cover mass transit Free community shuttle to help get across the campus and the neighboring community
Cons
Things operate on "Stanford" time; what would take days in the outside world can take weeks or months here Lack of transparency from upper management means lots of secrets and a perpetual feelings of unease Doing what's right for the org sometimes takes a backseat to not hurting someone's feelings; more damaging in the long run The department I work in has a policy that prevents working from home; tough for new parents Parking is tough in some parts of campus, plus you are required to purchase a parking permit
