Stanford University is one of the most prestigious places to be. At the same time, working at Stanford can be demanding and stressful.
I am a postdoc, and it is not a permanent job and the pay is very small. Being at Stanford is a life-long honor. I personally get a lot of interviews when I apply to jobs just because of getting top-notch training at Stanford. Stanford is hard but it is totally worth it.

A lot of opportunities!
Stanford has a lot to offer in terms of benefits and professional development. Your experience really depends on the department you’re in, and like any organization, there are some really great departments and others that aren’t as great.

Great Palce to work
I loved working there, it was a blast! I worked in the business sector and I enjoyed management so much because they gave me a good recommendation and pay raise.

Department-dependent
It really depends on your department and advisor. University admin tends to overlook grad students, who are half-students half-employees, but this is true for any research institution.
