Pros

- Not for Profit focus on California Healthcare Market - Quality and Drive of its people - first rate mid-level and executives with lots to teach - Rich benefits packages

Cons

- Analysis paralysis - executive focus on exhaustive analytics rather than timely / pragmatic decision making - Internal politics - Passive/Aggressive culture - look out for the negative yes here ... - Number 3 in the California market - with Healthcare restructuring BSC's ability to compete may be seriously compromised - Relatively static pay - a 3 - 4% pay raise is GREAT here if you stay in grade /position. Actually encourages top performers to leave the company for better compensation. - Which leads to - long term regression to the mean in terms of staff if the company isn't careful ...

Pros

Limited knowledge transfer and onboarding support for new team members. New hires are often expected to figure things out with minimal guidance. Workplace politics can sometimes impact collaboration and decision-making. Managers may not always be actively involved in supporting team members or addressing concerns. Full-time employees are occasionally treated differently than contractors, creating an uneven work environment. Documentation and process knowledge sharing could be improved. Work culture can be stressful at times, leading to challenges with work-life balance and employee morale.

Cons

Good exposure to projects and technologies. Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
