Pros

A lot of data available to do interesting things. Beautiful new building. General workforce is very diverse.

Cons

Data is poorly maintained, technology is old, leadership knows nothing, poor planning at all levels. If you are not an MD then moving up is extremely difficult. Upper management is mostly male doctors (mostly white).

Pros

Work with latest technology; co-workers willing to help out; never lacking for things to do. Ostensibly it's a good thing to work for an amalgamation of research hospitals, but the realities of the work far outweigh the touchy-feeliness of the *idea* of working there.

Cons

Interview process did not involve peers, so poor vetting of candidates. Little in the way of guidance. Assumption that employees will be willing to work lots of hours after the end of the workday much of the time. On-call was mind-bogglingly bad. Very poor organizational structure -- poor staffing levels, poor training; no individual empowerment to allow improvement of organization. Lots of finger-pointing and under-the-bus throwing. Lots of 'institutionalized' workers -- 'lifers', you might say. Too many projects that are deemed 'top priority,' so everyone bends over backward and works too hard too quickly to satisfy too many people in positions of power. Over-reliance on the mantra "it is what it is," suggesting that change does not happen easily or willingly. And remarkably mediocre benefits for a healthcare non-profit (including having to buy additional time off). PHS has lots of money, but also a great deal of institutional arrogance, and isn't afraid to throw its weight around.

Pros

Close to the MBTA.....other than that nothing I can think of.

Cons

Very toxic and stressful environment. Bully management is the culture here. This department is a revolving door. Most workers do not stay too long once they find out how toxic it is to work here and the rest of us are overworked and management could care less about your health or wellbeing. I have never worked for a company who treat their employee's so bad. Just look at all the negative reviews and the low ratings So glad to be gone from here worked here too long. New applicants beware. There are better places to work here in Boston than MGH.
