Business Outlook
Pros
Great benefits, smart co-workers, projects and programs that have high goals. Stellar scientific leaders. Wonderful sense of collaboration when you're working with smart doctors who can also teach.
Cons
Many incompetent managers who save their venom for analysts and administrative staff. UCSF is very decentralized, with almost 30 campuses and multiple centers of power. There is almost no chance of advancing so get hired at the highest rank you can. UCSF operates on the Hollywood principle: take care of your superstars, let them contract shamelessly with friends and family at will, and ignore their excesses. Then don't pay the non-managers for the work they perform for lame and incompetent family and friends.
