Pros

In an academic job at Stanford you work with, or for, the best minds in the world. The potential for personal and professional development is almost limitless. This is straightforward: Stanford is indeed all it's made out to be.

Cons

The competition is fierce. Sometimes this can be a little dehumanizing, but my experience is that it's better here than at, say, MIT.
