Great team to work with - Anonymous employee Mayo Clinic Employee Review

Benefits are a plus there

There are many talented, thoughtful, and dedicated people working here. Unfortunately, the organization has become so large and cumbersome that meaningful change is extremely difficult, and the perspectives of front-line clinicians often seem to carry very little weight. The outpatient mental health model has increasingly emphasized brief, short-term treatment and measurable improvement within a limited number of sessions. That may work well for some patients with relatively straightforward concerns, but it is not an appropriate model for many people with serious, chronic, or complex psychological and behavioral conditions. From a world-renowned medical organization, I expected greater support for clinicians treating the most challenging cases, including recognition that effective care may require longer-term treatment and more frequent appointments. Clinicians were expected to practice according to evidence-based standards, but the scheduling structure often made that impossible. Patients who needed weekly therapy frequently could not be seen weekly, and clinicians had limited ability to determine the appropriate frequency of care based on clinical need. When patients cannot access treatment consistently, progress is slower, clinicians feel ineffective, and burnout increases. The most frustrating part was the disconnect between the expectation to provide excellent clinical care and the operational systems that prevented clinicians from doing so. The people are often excellent. The system does not consistently allow them to do their best work.

Large organization that is recession-proof.

Leadership does not care about employees, especially tech employees. They are currently selectively laying off the highest paid tech employees just before they reach protected age status. Classic IBM moves from former IBM leadership. Culture has been destroyed. Upward mobility is nearly impossible. They have people on the same teams doing the same work at +- 40K salary via selective job title HR games. They have been practicing constructivve dishcharge on all of IT in an effort to reduce staff. Everyone is applying for their own jobs and they then send some packing and it's been many of the best employees. Other talented people are forced to leave for fear of not having a seat when the music stops. During COVID they said 'Work from anywhere' and hired like mad. Now, they say you are all going hybrid and will have to appear in-office. More efforts at reduction via attrition. The dishonesty is the worst part, all we get in meetings is an HR person with canned responses to protect the edge case legality of what they are doing.
