Pros

Great early career training ground- then it is best to leave after 2 years or so. Their philosophy and culture is dramatically changing and it does not value longevity (over 4-5 years), it is great for you to get experience if you are not clinical, then it best to leave....before they RIF you but blind side you with that RIF and mislead you.

Cons

Treats people poorly during off boarding and those with experience. You are "talent mapped" and once you are at a certain point in your career, you are too expensive for the company to keep, they will ask you to train your replacement, and not offer any valid reasons for your departure or give you a heads up, just that they are moving in a different direction. It is really unfortunate what is happening to the culture from that perspective and if you are a mid career leadership or HR professional looking to find a company with longevity (over 4 years) my recommendation is that you find another organization that will value you as you grow in experience, not "use you" and toss you out like yesterday's paper when it serves them and mislead you in the process. For those of you thinking, this review may sound like one jilted employee's experience, please note this has been a common place practice in the past year due to new leadership.

Cons

Like many large healthcare organizations, decision-making can sometimes take longer due to the number of stakeholders involved. Cross-functional projects often require coordination across multiple departments, which can impact timelines but also helps ensure compliance and thoughtful implementation.
