Stanford University – “Good research experience”

Pros

Great place for collaboration. Number of amazing postdocs who can run their own labs but still stuck here due to limited number of academic jobs.

Cons

No work life balance. "Work until you produce the beautiful graph and we dont care how mnay hours a week you put in" seems to be the motto of this place.

Advice to Senior Management

Please appreciate the fact that research is a noble cause and postdocs work for peanuts ! So please create a safety net and monitor the PI -postdoc relationships. Encourage postdoc committees that
work like grad student committees.
