Pros

Pay is decent and the vacation/holidays are hard to beat. Plus you can get a public transportation annual pass for $50.

Cons

Very few departments are respected and there is so much politics. I would expect to have negative interactions with some of the visitors because it is a hospital and typically people aren't there for happy reasons but honestly the employees were the worst. Rude and disrespectful--you need to be very cut throat and at an executive level to enjoy your work at OHSU.

Pros

Outstanding mission-driven organization with exceptionally talented, collaborative colleagues. I had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge ophthalmology clinical trials with multidisciplinary teams who genuinely cared about advancing patient care. The work was intellectually stimulating, there were many opportunities to learn, and I appreciated the culture of scientific curiosity and collaboration within the Casey Eye Institute.

Cons

Like many academic medical centers, organizational priorities can shift quickly with changes in funding. Decision-making can be slow, communication during organizational changes could be improved, and career advancement opportunities may be limited outside of traditional academic pathways. Funding uncertainty can affect long-term job stability for research staff.
