Pros

My team was absolutely amazing to work with. I honestly think I struck gold with my co-workers, supervisor, and manager. You get a LOT of experience talking with and writing to providers in this role. We were able to work remotely for COVID-19 and were supplied with technical equipment this spring. Benefits (medical/dental/PTO/etc) were pretty decent. It's also nice knowing that you are helping the health system overall with what you do every day. I wouldn't discourage someone from working at Inova - there are worse places and better places to be, and it's not my place to tell someone what to do. I do not regret working at Inova, but there were just some negative points that I grew tired with.

Cons

The pay is relatively low, but not far from (if not at the same level) the average salary for most starting credentialing roles. The technical equipment that we were given is incredibly outdated and took up a fair bit of space. A laptop (with all proper security measures of course) would have been a much simpler solution. You constantly feel like the non-clinical roles (except for maybe C-suite and high level execs) weren't really appreciated. Sometimes it's a thankless job. For the department there wasn't much opportunity for growth, meaning many would switch departments or leave the company entirely.

Pros

Good benefits, professional colleagues, and strong technical talent. In the IT, analytics, and data space, Inova has been more forward-looking than many health systems, with willingness to adopt modern tools and practices. There is also relatively less bureaucracy compared with some other healthcare organizations.

Cons

For AI and Data Solutions career growth and scope can feel heavily influenced by prior relationships and leadership networks. When new leaders join, they often bring trusted colleagues from previous organizations, and those individuals may receive faster access to strategic work, visibility, and advancement opportunities. This can create the perception that internal merit, institutional knowledge, and long-term contribution are not always enough to access the best opportunities unless an employee is already connected to a senior leader or part of an incoming leadership network. Over time, this can make the culture feel fragmented across different legacy groups rather than like one unified Inova culture. There is a high level of nepotism and if you are not coming from Sharp, Parkland or Novant your growth, scope and visibility will be limited and you might be sidelined to grunt work.
