Mission-driven organization going through change

Pros

Mission-driven organization. Competitive pay. Exceptional PTO. Newly eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness! The new CEO brought a faster pace, increased visibility, and greater opportunity to get your work and ideas in front of senior leaders. It can be tough to find a workplace that's more than a paycheck - one where you feel good about your impact. But it feels good every day to stand up for science, vaccines, and patients.

Cons

We can often move too slowly and too bureaucratically. TBQH, I think a lot of the negative reaction to the new CEO is in response to his efforts to break down silos and have us move faster. Some of these silos make the AMA seem like multiple organizations - not all of them aligned with one mission. It's also a very, very meeting-heavy culture.

Meaningful work with a supportive team.

Pros

One of the best things about working at the AMA is the sense of purpose—you really feel like the work matters, contributing to public health and medicine on a national level. The people here are passionate, smart, and highly educated, and there’s a supportive team environment. Dr. Whyte, the new CEO, has had to make some tough decisions to help set the organization up for the future, but honestly, it’s inspiring to be part of the AMA during this period.

Cons

The AMA can feel a bit bureaucratic and process-heavy at times with multiple layers of approval and formal communication channels.
