      Pros

      Excellent benefits and compensation, employee training and professional growth and development, reknowned name, great co-workers and boss (depends on dept), excellent events, just a world-class environment all round. Great events you can attend, access to Stanford's libraries, free Caltrain pass and VTA bus pass. Free access to gym and sports facilities. Free annual $800 worth of class room training. After 1 year, your 403b (401k equivalent) is matched, increasing for the next 4 years.

      Cons

      Some bosses aren't honest with you about potential improvements you could be making to yourself. Career path and promotions are not as straightforward as I would like

      Pros

      It's the best school in the world, in terms of quality of life and education value. I could not recommend it higher.

      Cons

      Insular culture, at times. The "duck syndrome" is very much part of the DNA. Also, some people are socially inept, but such is the case at any school.
