Pros

Teamwork approach to patient care. Good benefits (that were once excellent) including health, life, dental, and disability insurance. Paid time off. Fraud protection. Education reimbursement for the right people. A diverse population of employees from around the world.

Cons

I was at Mayo clinic for seven years. I only worked in one of many departments at Mayo Clinic. There is a strong emphasis on education. Most management positions are filled based on education as opposed to their ability to do the job successfully. Obtaining further education is promoted as long as it does not interfere with the job. Employees are "coerced" into conforming with employer expectations or they are pushed out. Independent thinkers are seldom encouraged. Employees with mental health issues are not valued as individuals. The programs established for employee well being are geared towards encouraging employees to conform or quit. Parking is a big issue.

Pros

Large organization that is recession-proof.

Cons

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.
