Pros

Partners system is a giant and MGH is part of an incredible health enterprise.

Cons

Salary is not competitive and only way to increase salary is to leave and find a new job outside of MGH. The merit increase is the only way up and at 2% per year it is a very slow climb. This is a disincentive to stay and perform like a rock star. HR policies do not support growth and the practice of equity among limited career paths further stifles opportunity and growth. New talent is held back based upon HR equity. Not smart.
