Pros
High caliber people Education driven Diverse experiences Resource rich Large organization to move around in (if you know the right people)
Cons
Low and disproportionate pay Little to no raises even for outstanding employees High parking costs Upper management is out of touch and refuses to change/retire Wide variance on quality of units with little accountability to set minimum standards Large organization; very difficult to grow and learn unless you know the right people or are lucky enough to have a supervisor that helps you advance and navigate the system Many people are stuck in their ways and still think the Hopkins name is a good enough reason to leave things the way they are Creativity, innovation, and new ways of thinking are frowned upon Epitome of good old boys club
