Pros

Mayo Clinic is the best place ever to work when it comes to caring for the patient. The "needs of the patient' truly comes first. I see it every day. I've worked here a very long time and have had the opportunity to move up as I furthered my education. It is a place that encourages you to better yourself and supports those goals.

Cons

Mayo Clinic has a very bizarre absence policy. If you are an hourly employee and are one minute late for work (even if no past issues) - you receive an "OCCURRENCE". If you wake up sick with fever and call in sick - you receive an "OCCURRENCE". If your plumbing or A/C or car broke down and you call in that you must meet the plumber, electrician, mechanic etc. - you receive an "OCCURRENCE". If there is an accident on the road and you run late due to the traffic jam - you receive an "OCCURRENCE". After 6 "OCCURRENCES" there are formal consequences. "OCCURRENCES" drop off after a year has gone by using a 12 month rolling calendar. 10 "OCCURRENCES" and employee is terminated.

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.
