Pros

It's a big and broad research community -- there's a lot of exciting work being done here. The size of the employee community helps ensure good representation with the management.

Cons

I don't work on the hill currently, but have in the past. That can be tough if your schedule is demanding, as you are at the mercy of our admittedly excellent public transportation system. My position is with at what used to be Oregob Graduate Institute. Now that it has been eaten up by OHSU, we are all a little concerned with the long-term viability of our non-medical programs. So far, OHSU seems to be happy to bring us into the school of medicine without requiring massive changes in our research mission, but not all of our programs have been so lucky.

Upward growth is really slow

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.
