Kaiser may survive the next reorganization of health care with some integrity.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation levels, opportunities to transfer when one moves, fairly advanced thinking about best practices and accountability for outcomes.

Cons

Some clinical SOPs are dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, and there is a subtle pressure not to get too interested in challenging cases. You could end up doing assembly line care.

Awesome benefits & job security, modest salary + bonus. You'll be working for good - with plenty of red tape.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits. Job security. Business based on a mission that is good and you can believe in. The people's hearts are in the right place here. It's big so if you have initiative you can learn a lot, meet a lot of people, and make career advancement by working for different parts of the organization. It's a not-for-profit organization, and we're trying to deliver affordable healthcare, not make a profit for shareholders.

Cons

It's so big. IT is a hindrance, by inefficiency, to every department's success. Many layers of middle management, some of whom are totally incompetent, and it's frustrating they were even hired, let alone promoted. They don't fire incompetent people here except for the most egregious offenses.
