Pros

Every person that I've met on my team and the other surrounding it have been excellent. I haven't met anyone that I've felt I can't learn from. There is also a fair amount of flexibility within UPMC Enterprises in the event that you want to try a different role or you want to join a team with an opening. There are also great benefits (and cheap!) due to be attached to UPMC.

Cons

While I understand that security is a paramount concern due to handling patient data in a HIPAA-compliant way, there is an intense amount of bureaucracy surrounding the escalation of privileges. As a developer I can end up spending multiple workdays waiting for access to systems that I need.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
