Pros

In many ways a great culture - non-profit, working with healthcare professionals to improve care or a large network of leading hospitals. The benefits are great, from health care (of course) to employee perks like access to sporting and concert tickets and other corporate discounts. Time off is fair. I have a fabulous manager. Not only are the health care benefits good from a cash point of view, access to some of the best care makes up for what might be a slightly less competitive salary. Ultimately the best reward is positively affecting patient care, even in the most distant type of role that isn't directly helping patients.

Cons

So large, it's almost impossible to effect change. Bureaucratic - some of this is because of healthcare regulations and the like, but sometimes the number of middle managers gets in the way of decision making or structurally inhibits cross-team communication. Their excuse is that they're a non-profit, and that policy doesn't allow it -- a move to a role that should have paid 20% more did not see a raise of anywhere near that. Stayed because ultimately the skills built will allow me to move elsewhere in six months and earn significantly more. So I consider it an investment in my career, however if they want to retain talent this is a poor strategy.

Pros

A lot of smart and dedicated people, exposure to academic medicine, opportunities to learn new technology/applications, great work/life balance, management is generally supportive about personal situations and flexible work arrangements (school, family, etc), comprehensive benefits and time off

Cons

Organization is generally slow to move/make decisions, management is generally non-confrontational with unproductive employees and will let them stay in a role rather than fire them, tenure is rewarded over talent and drives a lot of smart people out of the company, very little movement in management ranks so you may "top out" sooner rather than later, promotions are often based on management favoritism, 2% annual raise whether you are a high performer or a slacker

Pros

Hard to find pros (if any exist). Gave 6 interviews for this position, was offered the job and turned it down. They make you work SO much, with various case studies and skill assessments as if they're BCG or McKinsey. Their offer was laughable. With every interview I cleared, they kept bringing the comp down by $2-3K. Was surprised a company like MGB has to pinch pennies, while looking for good talent. Its as if they're doing you a HUGE favor by offering you employment (Which you're qualified and able for)

Cons

Best thing I ever did was to know my worth, and said no to them. A month or two later, I got a job with a great company with the comp almost twice of what MGB offered. Not $5-$10K more, almost double! And they tell me how happy they are to have me, and I am super motivated to excel here!
