Pros

All Stanford University perks Great place if you're a researcher.

Cons

Lower management does best to care, but senior leadership has no respect for non-research site staff (e.g., admins, managers, engineers, technical staff) or their experience, expertise, skills, or dedication. Lots of office politics since upper management not really held accountable.
