HCA Corporate Offices are a High-School Circus
Pros
First let me say that I left HCA of my own accord, under good circumstances and with good graces of my management. I worked at HCA CORPORATE - not in the divisions or facilities. Some very great, talented, and intelligent people work at the HCA corporate offices. They have huge opportunities to delve into new and complex projects. They offer stable jobs with relatively good compensation and benefits.
Cons
Women in power at the HCA Corporate offices (VPs and beyond) are superficial, repressive, and deeply vindictive. Those overseeing marketing, content, and other enterprise-wide services do not help those in their care use their skills, grow their strengths, succeed, or think strategically or creatively. Young women need not apply to HCA Corporate - they will have their spirits crushed and their work squandered. Young men may have a better shot, but unlikely. People are promoted at HCA Corporate only when others leave and no one else is there to step in. HR will placate you, but will NOT help you here. You will NOT be set up for success and even if you are doing the right things and the best things, HR will side with your "leadership." Selfishness, falsehoods, and back-stabbing are the ways to win at HCA.
