Houston Methodist reviews

Very large, sometimes employees can get "lost" in the shuffle.

Being an academic teaching hospital, there was an overwhelming expectation of management having advanced degrees, regardless of the area of study the degree was in. This was never so evident as when a person was promoted to a directorship in the Information Technology department when he had a Master's of Theology, but one of our better leaders who had a military background was demoted because he only had an associates degree (but was much more competent). Very little attention was paid to the skills that it takes to lead, and although "advanced degrees" were required for management, once someone attained that degree and was in their position, there was no real expectation for continued learning throughout that person's lifetime. This fact results in a lot of "stagnant" leaders in the organization that are really just dead wood.
