Mayo Clinic reviews

In my particular division, people with my job (physician assistant) are treated less respectfully than at other organizations where I have worked. There are lots of layers of management here but relatively few people to actually do the work of taking care of patients. "The needs of the patient come first" is not what I have always seen here. They are not flexible or open to change in terms of employee satisfaction (alternative schedules, etc). Change does not happen fast here. I think it may be different in different departments but I have seen a definite downturn in the work environment in the past 7 years that I've been here.

no room for growth, HR is a nightmare and treats you like you are being accused if you bring something to them. Like if you ask for help or bring a situation to their attention their first step is to try and silence you through threats and ignore the problem. It's clear that productivity second to publicity in all aspects of the science being done. They exploit foreign workers for cheap labor in exchange for an empty experience that looks good on paper, but is a waste of time in reality. Science is treated as a lower class of worker to the healthcare side, and it's clear the only purpose of science according to leadership at mayo is to generate headlines, and receive donations from well meaning but ignorant people. The culture of "Mayo is the best at everything" gets creepy when you are working in an area that Mayo is clearly not very good at. Feels very Orwellian in combination with HR being so aggressive.
