Pros

Lots of great people Mostly welcoming environment Solid portfolio in most BUs

Cons

Very political, who you know Sloooooow promotion process for both in-line and upward promotions Over-worked Way too many leaders who never did the job of people they lead, causing a slew of unrealistic expectations. Most people are overworked, burnt out, and broken Very little pay compared to company standard - you can go anywhere else and give yourself a 40K raise (seriously) Company does not actually care about its people and patients. If it isn't a Wall Street target or directive, its irrelevant Sneaky HR and ER practices

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, prestige, lots of time off, beautiful campus and workplace amenities

Cons

A large chunk of the workforce needs to retire. Management is from the old guard and can be stuck in their ways. I've never worked somewhere so frustrating in my life. I felt undervalued here every day.
