Pros

The company offers certain benefits, such as insurance, fitness reimbursements, decent office infrastructure, food and competitive pay.

Cons

Bias and favoritism. Lack of role clarity. You'll lose touch with your technical skills, as opportunities to apply them are rare. Toxic management and a harmful workplace culture. Unfair hiring practices: Managers often hire former colleagues regardless of their qualifications. Ego-driven leadership: Managers are closed off to feedback and unashamedly take credit for their team’s ideas. Lack of transparency in the performance appraisal process. Managers openly threaten termination. No job security. Managers are unclear about their expectations from team members, often valuing empty talk and unnecessary posturing over actual productivity. If you're good at speaking in grand terms and putting on a show, you can easily survive, even without technical expertise. The company claimed to be product-focused, but in practice, it operated as a service company. It is now officially shifting to a service-based model. Indian managers are often ineffective, with key decision-making and ownership typically resting with the US leadership.

Pros

(This is for Providence St Vincent Medical Center in PDX) - staffing ratios - break nurses - ONA union - coworkers on my unit are very helpful and kind (can’t speak for every unit though)

Cons

- upper management hates the nursing union - we are short on many supplies on weekend night shifts - crappy insurance - my unit’s manager is almost never there, they’re always on vacation or working remote. This makes our manager very out of touch with the unit’s needs
