HCA Healthcare reviews

Management often talks down to or condesending to employee. They will tell you that they have a open door policy, but once you voice your opinion they dont listen, but will use it against you later.

Everything that I dislike about large companies seems to be magnified at HCA. The bureaucracy, favoritism, kissing and covering of ass, and “because that's the way it is” answers are directly in your face more than I would have thought. This seems to be an inescapable truth at any company with more than a handful of managers that manage managers, but the level of it has really surprised me. It is difficult in this environment to find a way to contribute individually. Ideas that challenge the status quo are met with, at best, indifference. Sometimes, the reaction is outright hostility. In spite of a lot of talk about process and planning, projects are often managed to unreasonable deadlines that were determined well before any actual scope of work was determined. Project managers behave as if we were all in possession of crystal balls that are able to foretell every bump in the road. Expectations are rarely adjusted to reflect reality.
