Great education. Variable work environment.

Stanford, CA

Current Employee – been working at Stanford University full-time for more than a year

ProsSort of free schedule as a graduate student. Some PI's are better than others. It's great to get payed while getting degrees, however.

ConsI work 50-70 hours per week for a new professor. I see other students doing more like 40-50, I see still others sleeping in lab. If you're committed and love what you do it's fine.

Advice to Senior ManagementGive professors a crash course in management before turning them loose on unsuspecting graduate students. 4 hours weekly lab meetings that starting at 5pm without giving dinner is a little silly.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
