Pros

Prestige of working at Stanford. Doctors at the School of Medicine were very nice and friendly and respectful. Students were also a pleasure.

Cons

I came in as a contractor with the idea that it would be temp to hire. They dangle that carrot for a year just because they knew they could and take advantage of cheap hourly contractors with no intention of ever offering a full-time position. My immediate supervisor was not someone who knew how to manage people and difficult to work for. Generally, those who are on staff have the attitude that they are sitting in cushy jobs and don't work very hard. The top level boss was a pleasure to work for but I didn't have that much interaction with that person.
