Pros

Location Great transportation system within the UCSF system Prestige if you're into that

Cons

Bureaucracy, ten fold UC is a place where those who enjoy bureaucracy go to live out their final working years What should be simplified tasks anywhere else are broken down into such minutia it will make your head spin or explode As a manager, you will be likely to take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back regularly. Tasks will feel like they are being repeated and tweaked until the life is sucked right out of them...and you. Be prepared.

RUN! UCSF is lost ...

Pros

The people that work at UCSF are some of the most intelligent analysts I've ever worked with in 15 years of Health IT. Most are ex-Epic employees with strong backgrounds in project managament and IT,

Cons

UCSF recently decided to reclassify all remote employees as "Felxible" without their input or permission. As a result, employees must now travel to the office WITHOUT expenses paid. This means that flights, hotels, etc. are NOT reimbursed and are paid by the employee. UCSF has not answered to what problem they are trying to solve with this, and refuses to answer how this action aligns with goals such as sustainability (carbon emissions), equity (women and disabled are more impacted by eliminating remote work), working accommodating (UCSF does not have the physical space for all of the Clinical Systems department to be on site. There is no locked storage or accessible workspaces.), safety (there is no shuttle for UCSF to all locations that have been mentioned for work). UCSF limits employee growth, by eliminating actual promotions with "role based work". In other words, you have to do more work without compensation for it. They have also completely reneged on remote management, meaning that most employees are now at a dead end.

Worst Culture

Pros

The only reason people stay is the pension and pay. It all comes at a cost…

Cons

Worst leadership and culture I have ever seen. The nurses do what ever they want, tear each other down, mind games, you name it. Leadership does NOTHING to try and prevent or remedy the situation and the union is just as culpable!
