      Not bad, but feel something missing.

      Pros

      There is a retirement pension, most companies do not have that important retirement benefit. And there are also great health care benefits that are in addition to salary. The salary is comparable. And the hours are 40 hours per week. The vacation amount is pretty good too. The job is stable, and I rarely worry about being downsized.

      Cons

      There is a lot of hierarchy. In order to advance your salary range, you must be promoted up the hierarchy. Performing the job at a higher level does not pay more, and does not necessarily lead to advancements up the hierarchy b/c that requires a different skill set (managerial).

      Pros

      Kaiser is a stable company that affords many opportunities to hold many different roles within the company. You don't have to be stagnant and you're not pigeon holed if you don't want to be. Kaiser is also on the leading edge of technology in the healthcare world. We use this technology to make the end to end experience for the patient the best, easiest and least painful (paperwork wise) as possible. Kaiser keeps the focus of all it does on the patient experience and care while paying attention to the bottom line. And I'm sure the benefits can't be beat anywhere.

      Cons

      As with any company who has to follow government regulations, there is a lot of red tape to sort through. This is probably not the fault of Kaiser, but our having to comply with those regulations, in particular Sarbanes Oxley. Because of these regulations there has been some self imposed tightening down on roles so a task cannot get done without involving several/many people and increasing the cost and time it takes to get something done. Once again, probably not so much the fault of Kaiser, but gov't regulation. Other than that, recognition of a job well done is not always shown in tangible ways, but then again, it is very much dependent on who your manager is.

      Pros

      An opportunity to serve people and work with state of the art technology. You'll find everything from hand helds devices, to laptops and desktops, to servers of several kinds (windows, solaris, aix, linux, z/VM and z/OS). Technology is at the heart of delivering quality healthcare and you'll be in the thick of it in the IT organization.

      Cons

      the IT organization has poor management and everything is a priority 1
