      Kaiser is a good place to work if you want to be in the same job for 20 or 30 years and retire at 65.

      Pros

      Great benefits, good pay, easy work (sometimes boring). If you ask the many people who are over 60 and worked for Kaiser at the same job for over 20 or 30 years, they'd probably tell you it's a great place to retire.

      Cons

      It depends on the dept you are in. This is a huge organization. I have been with Kaiser for almost 3 years. I am starting to get bored and wanting a new job. Things move forward very slow in Kaiser, if it moves forward at all. We talk talk and talk about projects and plans in meetings and on conference calls, but things rarely get implemented.

      Kaiser: A nice place to take a nap while you do other things with your life

      Pros

      The work/life balance at Kaiser is much better than I've seen at other companies. The working hours are earlier than other SoCal companies -- most people are in the office by 7:30 and leave by 4:30 or 5:00. But the good part is that people are not expected to work more than 40 hours a week most weeks. Also, weekend work seems to be rare.

      Cons

      The organization is a matrix structure so it means that generally, most people have two or more bosses. This leads to a culture of non-accountability and one in which decisions are very, very difficult to make. The culture is extremely consensus-driven and people tend to be passive-aggressive to a fault. This is not the environment where you want to be if you like to get things done. But, if you are happy to coast for a couple of years, it can be a great place to be. People talk about getting 'Kaiserized' if you stay at KP too long: you no longer know how to function in an organization that believes in accountability.
