Pros

The best part of working for Kaiser is the staff to staff interaction, benefits, and the balance between work life and home life is respected.

Cons

It is al arge group with a lot of patients and that can be intimidating at times. However, efforts are made to keep the number of patiients limited.

Pros

KP is uniquely positioned in the health care industry as both a provider and insurer, and with health care reform in progress, it is interesting to have an insider's view of a major health care company's actions and reactions in this period of transition. While there are a lot of interesting projects going on throughout the company's administrative departments, as well as in the health care realm, and teams are very busy keeping up with various initiatives and trying to master a constantly changing environment, KP management seems to be very committed to preserving a work-life balance.

Cons

Leadership often opts to keep its distance from the details of the day-to-day work, problems, and obstacles of those tasked with getting the work done. Management's efforts to improve areas of the corporate culture that employees cite as needing improvement often seem half-hearted or lacking in substance.

Pros

The part of working at Kaiser? Many of the finest coworkers that I've had the privilege to work with in my 30 years of work. Second: the focus on the members (patients) care as the primary goal of our work. Third, they are big enough to have interesting work, with innovation and justifiable pride in their electronic record. Not least among the other items is the excellent support for my need to take time and/or work at home during a family crisis.

Cons

The need for consensus and multiple meetings (and emails) to make a decision may delay results and complicates projects. May not be the best place for you if you are not patient or can't deal with uncertainty and/or lack of control of "your" project's time or outcome.
