Pros

MSK offers excellent benefits, especially 401k. New hire training was two days. I met some really wonderful people from every part of the organization. My mother was a patient many years ago, and I really wanted to work there. Some of the Lead Admins I met were also wonderful and available to help.

Cons

I have many years of experience and have worked with high-level people but MSK was very challenging and one of the most difficult. Researchers are gifted, but that doesn't translate into being a good boss. I experienced rudeness and poor communication skills. The backhanded behavior was most disappointing. You can't transfer to another position until you've been employed for a year (I tried). My experience was untenable. While interviewing, do your research and engage everyone as much as possible. Ask questions. You will be required to hit the ground running, possibly with little guidance. If you have previous experience at a hospital you will figure it out. If you don't, beware. Benefits are great but salary was low and non-negotiable at hiring.
