Mass General Brigham reviews

I was a consultant at Partner's for a few months, and I would have liked to become a permanent employee, but they were using a special medical database and only wanted engineers with a background in that, at the time. They seemed to be doing some very interesting things there. My impression of the place was very positive. My overall experience was good. And it was inspiring to me to work there. I helped build a patient-tracking system that had the potential to make life easier for patients in the waiting rooms (shorter wait time). I was given the elbow room to do my job. The buildings are nice in the headquarters on the waterfront in Charlestown. Partner's is a non-profit hospital system, which is also a plus.

PHS is an enormous company with many different landscapes. I can't comment on departments outside of IS, but in 3.5 years in the IS department, a healthy balance between work and play was encouraged. Partners Corporate offers a wonderful vacation package (3 weeks + 9 floating holidays + 2 weeks that you may "buy" at your "hourly rate"). The benefit package is also generous, partially reimbursing employees for computer purchases, adoptions, etc. and subsidizes commuting charges. I only paid 135$ a month for my 380$ monthly parking pass at the Prudential Center. It was a safe, low-stress work environment where more junior employees were mentored and given opportunities to grow. Additionally, there was much job security, as people tended to stick around for years, and the company seemed to keep them on regardless of their abilities and performance.
