Pros

The work is challenging and meaningful. I feel valued and well compensated.

Cons

Leadership is arrogant and refuses to even acknowledge that they might be wrong. This has been displayed most recently with their handling of COVID, because they refuse to acknowledge that we can be successful working from home in a pinch. Therefore, they are going to be requiring us to return to the office despite public health authorities encouraging businesses to allow work from home. They've been putting their efforts into silencing employees rather than trying to address our concerns in a respectful manner. "Authoritarian" is perhaps a strong word here, but there's no denying the similarities in how internal dialogue is being handled right now and how free speech is handled in authoritarian states. Management does not do a good job at load balancing work, so folks who have a history of success but aren't good at negotiating their workload will often end up with too much work.

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
