Pros

Benefits package, access to world class healthcare and some sort of external validation or credibility that vomes from working at prestigious institution.

Cons

Culture shift from value-centered to prpfit-centered approach which systematically undermines human-centeredness. Servant leadership, belonging, DEI, RICH TIES and all that is just a marketing schemes that organizations never promotes it and even when it does, they don't do it right. Culture and management highly depends on ehich department you work on. Certain departments in shared services have more layoffs and firing season but nobody really talks about. Their policies around remote work is a backward movement in this age and time. Bringing people in to do the same work but commute two hours to and from work is stupid. Nepotism and favoritism is real and strong. All matters it who knows you in specific leadership roles. They don't like free thinkers and anyone that's not sheep. It's a game everyone pretends they know stuff but they actually don't which is all corporate America but here is no difference. Everything moves slow, so many politics, drama and peak MN passive aggressiveness dressed up as Minnesota Nice. Bureaucratic and hierarchical system but everyone pretends it's not. It's a monopoly, meaning you're left with no competitive choice working at Mayo especially if you are based in Rochester, which allows them to sometimes lowball, overwork and underpay employees. In the past the professional development option was helpful but now it's lottery based so good luck with that. They want to fix a broken system that they don't know the toot cause if it by bringing in AI and automation tools, just to say they're doing digital transformation and quality improvement while in fact it's just another trick to fool investors and showoff something that's no actually delivering value. Overall, good place to be a patient not so if you're an employee.
