Pros

Good benefits, especially medical benefits and PTO, very fast pace and technologically advanced environment to learn new stuff. Great people to work with since everyone is focus on patient safety and care as the end goal.

Cons

Co-workers are burned out and tend to call in sick, causing a chain reaction to current workers to double the work and get burned out. It is a chain reaction and cycle that is not good for support and morale of the department. There is double standard with dress code, management can wear sweats and slippers but staff are asked not to wear sneakers or jeans. There is a high level of turn over of employees so there is constant training and education in relation to use of technology, especially short term contractors which leave for better pay and longer term jobs constantly. Parking is not enough, if you come after 7 am you will not find parking, they have stack parking which sucks. There is not enough restrooms for employees, since constantly walking around looking for available restrooms in far off locations. Pay scale is a little low compare to industry standard, i see alot of staff leaving since pay is very competitive in Silicon Valley.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, decent work environment; opportunity to work with some brilliant, dedicated people in medical field.

Cons

Lack of Manager Training: Managers receive minimal or no training, leading to inadequate leadership skills and performance. HR Focus on Employee Relations: HR primarily concentrates on employee relations matters, neglecting other crucial areas such as retention and manager training. Managerial Incompetence: Incompetent managers, who may not possess the necessary skills for their roles, continue to thrive solely based on their title. Lack of Oversight from Upper Management: Upper management fails to monitor and assess the performance of managers, allowing issues within teams to go unnoticed. Absence of Managerial Reviews: The absence of regular reviews or assessments for managers contributes to a chaotic work environment. High Turnover: The organization experiences significant turnover, with employees often leaving due to management-related issues. Culture of Retirement: Many employees stay with the organization until retirement due to attractive retirement benefits, rather than job satisfaction. Limited Layoffs or Terminations: There is a reluctance to terminate employees unless they severely underperform in their roles. Flexible Work Arrangements: Despite official policies requiring onsite presence, many employees, including managers, are allowed to work remotely or from other locations, contributing to a hybrid work environment with flexible arrangements. Culture? what's that??
