Mass General Brigham reviews

As one of the largest integrated health systems in the country, Partners has a bureaucratic organizational structure that can be frustrating if not exceedingly difficult to navigate. At the same time, while the company's 501(c)3 nonprofit status helps it to maintain a focus on its mission to provide quality patient care and research, it has a distinctly corporate culture that one could argue is "nonprofit" by name only. Additionally, it is worth noting that there is a nationwide trend in which large health networks have moved to strengthen their market share by acquiring smaller community hospitals, research centers and physician practices within their region. With ever greater bargaining power, these health networks put upward pressure on prices and, in doing so, can challenge the affordability of health care services for many patients. Make no mistake: Partners is one of the organizations that has led this charge.

Sometimes there can be a little bit of politics or people from other departments (aka The Suits) throwing their weight around but I suppose this is inevitable of any multifaceted organization with so many elements. Direct hire seems tricky to obtain for my department. Generally it's good to know of somebody and an opening if you are working your way in from the bottom. My department was 24hr operation which cuts into life in the city. Parking likely sucks if you can not take public transportation to most of the dense hospitals.
