Good technology, with Organization issues

Pros

Leading technology, many initiatives to work in field that 'matters', large enough to have some clout with vendors to get changes when needed

Cons

Technology is very siloed and cross department cooperation is 'a challenge' making troubleshooting very drawn out and new system rollouts a longer process than needed.

Pros

Leader in Healthcare technology, especially Electronic Medical Records. There is nobody bigger or doing more with leading edge technology than Kaiser. Benefits (health care costs are excellent).

Cons

There is a strong prevailing CYA mentality. When I first started I always wondered why EVERYONE uses email for ALL communications - it didn't take long to understand why... verbal discussions are "forgotten" and accountability at the Sr. management level is all but non-existent; there is always a line manager or staff member who takes the hit for any problem. The annual review process is a joke - only negative information is used unless you make the effort to document the positive feedback - forcing management to include it in the reviews.
