Stanford University Employee Reviews

I feel I belong at Stanford and will strive to stay here until my end.

Being in a supportive environment where no one is allowed to mistreat anyone. The culture is positive and respectful of the individual. Appreciative of ones contributions

I have found that I fit well at Stanford.

Great to work at the company, though career progression is not clear for the role that I am in, compensation is below average (especially for the role that I am in), but work-life balance and the culture/mission helps make up for it

My overall experience has been very positive with a lot of willing input from the outside. I feel whenever I speak up or ask, someone is always happy to help. I have never worked somewhere before where the idea of excellence is so practiced as it is here. That is empowering.

Accountability of Managers. Also, define Manager in the question

making me feel my contribution makes a difference

I'm new and do not have much to say.

Transparency, enthusiasm for the mission and university, and caring about employees

What I like best about the leadership team is the culture of striving towards excellence while making a huge effort to follow the closed circle communication of keeping all informed.

Critical staffing shortages make the onboarding process and workload unsustainable, in turn creating and perpetuating staff burnout. When department metrics are discussed, they are only in the terms of faculty. This leaves out a large portion of the labor force that is also at risk of burnout.

Transparency, diversity, inclusion and belonging

Leadership does not invest in the well-being and ling-term employment prospects of the employee. HR is a nightmare and extremely insensitive and unsupportive. There is no respect for diversity, inclusion, and equity. There's a lot of talk about DEI but no one walks the talk.

Paid as a Manager, but I do miss bonus payouts that I received in my former corporate position

I'm not sure what is the best

I really appreciate the free public transport and gym access

It's the whole package I take int account that makes it the best

The best part of the compensation package is the flexibility of titles here at LCGM. The salary was also competitive to what is being offered in the Bay; it met other offers but was higher than some.

PhD with experience should NOT be underpaid. Morally wrong.

Compared to market compensation, especially in the IT/software engineering field. While base pay is probably 5-10% under market, not having any equity or bonuses makes it a significant difference

I do not believe that the salary adequately reflects the hours and responsibility of the position.

With qualification and experience I should not be an Associate II n earn at that level for a Bay area resident.

I know I was underpaid for the market value because I got two other offers around the same time I accepted Stanford offer. It would definitely make me feel better if my compensation could be adjusted to reflect the market value.

Coworkers make up for a bad manager

smart, collaborative, team oriented, supportive,

We like to work hard and have fun

People genuinely enjoy their work and the mission. Overall people want to be helpful and are generally positive

I like that my team is multicultural, enthusiastic, engaging.

showing support and spreading positivity

maybe more interactive and compasionate

A more team oriented environment where everyone does there fair share

They could include me in more things. I am a new employee and feel left out by most of the people in the office

I value a fast/competitive working environment, and my work is one of the most important pieces of my life. I don't feel that this mentality is shared by most.

what is culture? Its a young and moderately diverse team.

Supportive and collaborative, make me feel a necessary part of the team to help with our mission

We can enjoy having fun

People do want to try to help and get things done and advance the mission of the school

Most positive about the culture and environment is the enthusiasm and inclusivity.

I'd like to tangibly experience our proximity to Silicon Valley and the STEM leadership/legacy in our region. I look forward to seeing continued investment in digital transformation, and recruiting/hiring for diversity of perspective and professional experience.

Good results, Being able to accomplish my daily tasks.

Being appreciated every day for my contributions

It is new so Im learning a lot

Solving problems and building things; leadership and management trusting my work and experience to allow me to do what I think is best

The teamwork, active and various duties make me happy at work. Allowing to contribute and explore new ideas makes me really happy.

There is not much to look forward too. I do not interact with my coworkers much. I feel left out of a lot of things and am not given much to do so I sit for most of the day

Better engagement from my manager and senior leaders in caring about their people. Being more transparent and equitable in decision making instead of creating a funnel at the top

There is no respect for diversity or any attempt to retain talent who come from diverse backgrounds
