Pros

Big company with plenty of options to move within. They do offer 6 weeks of maternity/paternity leave at 60%.

Cons

First, you will be underpaid no matter what at DaVita. 2016 internal survey data shows 54% of employees in DaVita believe they are compensated fairly compared to +70% industry average. Second, the culture is a lie. You may hear about how great the culture is at DaVita because of the Mayor, yes the CEO, dresses up in a 3 Musketeers costume at company cult initiations. Check out John Oliver from May 14, 2017. Lastly, office politics are out of control. I understand large companies have a standard level of politics but DaVita is out of control to the point managers from other teams comment on work schedule. An unwritten rule, you can not leave before 5 without being reprimanded.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
