Pros

Always highly ranked and good location

Cons

Where do I start? Toxic culture from the top down. It's rosy the first few months then you realize you are stuck in a job with no evolution, management support, tools to actually do your job effectively, and you 100% have no chance of driving any change for improvement. If you are ok with a clock in-clock out job, salaried or hourly, without opening your mouth, then this is a job for you. Mass exodus of top talent in last couple years with acceleration in last 6 months. Just look at the upper management for the usual toxic suspects. C-Suite and upper management value "Yes" people only to enter their inner circle. They talk about being innovative, but the politics will never let you get to do anything. Best you pipe down and do your work. During pandemic no one was allowed to work from home, and they still hold this culture to this day. They put out emails saying they support it, but upper management makes comments about how you can, "go on furlough if you can't work in the office." UCI Health, Providence and City of Hope all allowed work from home and support it. Don't talk about your kids or mention you have kids. They will immediately hold it against you. They talk about how great their culture is but the fear factor is strong. It doesn't help when management receive anonymous feedback from staff then spend days telling other management "I bet I know who said that" instead of actually taking the constructive feedback and learning from it. Point is, if you give negative feedback to leadership, you are out. Diversity and talk of diversity is a big joke.

Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits. A handful of talented individual contributors (most either burned out or have left).

Cons

Cons: Digital and Marketing are run like a PR agency masquerading as a product and strategy team. They chase visibility, not value. Despite lofty titles and big talk, there is no cohesive strategy behind their decisions just a never-ending cycle of OUTSOURCING WORK TO AGENCIES with zero ROI. TENS OF MILLIONS have been funneled into external partners to build campaigns and digital products that no one engages with, buys into, or even remembers. Internally, there's little understanding of user needs, product-market fit, or performance metrics. It’s marketing theater at enterprise scale. The Chief Digital & Customer Innovation Officer is the architect of this disaster. With no grasp of how to build or deliver digital products, she relies on buzzwords like “digital transformation” to mask the vacuum of leadership underneath. Her contributions consist of interviews, surface-level cheerleading, and self-branding. Strategy, execution, and results? Nowhere to be found. The digital product portfolio is a graveyard of unused tools and ineffective campaigns—overdesigned, overbudget, and utterly disconnected from patient or customer needs. Accountability is absent. Leadership deflects, defends, and disappears when results are questioned. What remains is a culture fueled by fear, optics, and internal competition instead of innovation and clarity.

Pros

The marketing team is made up of talented, collaborative individuals, creating a great group to work with. Unfortunately, the work environment pushes people away, leading to constant turnover and frustration.

Cons

Most of us came in with high hopes for Hoag's newest marketing team under a new CMO. But unfortunately, what looks like a collaborative, forward-thinking group is actually a chaotic, high-turnover mess. Leadership is more focused on looking good than doing good, and investing in in-house talent is nonexistent. The culture is full of fear and instability. There’s no real strategy, people are overworked and undervalued, and if you speak up, you won’t last long. Deadlines are unrealistic, feedback is all over the place, and office politics run the show. If you’re looking for a team that actually supports great work and strategic thinking, this sadly isn’t it.
