STANFORD UNIVERSITY Employer Reviews

Very nice place to work, intelligent and fun group with lots of great ideas!

This was my most favorit employer. They pay really well. They let you do your thing. They value each and every one. They will let you shine. They have great managers. I loved working at Stanford, truelly a classy place with great people to work with.

Stanford is no doubt one of the best place to do research. The school of medicine has numerous of resource to do almost anything you could imagine. I really enjoy the time I spent there.

Management and Unions Not Satisfactory.......................................................................

Loved it and I enjoy working here. Everyone I work with is great. Amazing environment to be in.

It's my dream to be part of it again :-) Too bad it was a temp assignment :(

I work at SLAC, a DOE funded lab ran by STANFORD

Your success and happiness greatly depends on what department or division you work in. You can be treated as a valued contributor to the lab's success or you can be treated as a mere hired hand. Management is sort of bipolar: they stay out of the way (sometimes good, sometimes not so good) or they are – more...  constantly pestering you with conflicting requirements.

A great deal has changed in the last few years. We, thanks to the DOE and the present director's desire to please the purse string pullers, are becoming a totally safe, demoralized workplace. Site-wide layoffs in recent years as well as small "stealth" layoffs contribute to the adversely changing nature of SLAC.

Had I known that SLAC was going to go down this route, I would have left years ago. Oh well, I'm looking for new opportunities now. – less

It was a pressure cooker environment Backstabbing commonplace.
