      KP Review

      Pros

      The mission of the organization is by far the best reason to work for KP. We are the solution for health care in the United States. Typically employees "get along" and because of this KP is a very pleasant work place. Work/Life balance is also very good and is emphasized by management. The idea of the Labor Management Partnership and UBT's is also very forward thinking and could be a model for employee/labor relations in the future if it is implemented correctly.

      Cons

      It takes forever sometimes to make a decision- because of lots of red tape and the fact that KP is a consensus based culture.

      Pros

      Company has an excellent corporate mission, is fair to employees and has an ambitious IT agenda. Not-for-profit status means that decisions are made for reasons other than strictly shareholder value. Company does a good job in promoting a satisfactory work life balance. Facilities are very good. Fellow employees are respectful and knowledgeable. Organization invests in training its employees. Salaries are competitive and benefit package is excellent.

      Cons

      Significant turnover at upper management. Consensus-driven organization means that it often takes a long time for ideas to be vetted, accepted and implemented. Very geographically distributed organization makes cross-departmental project management somewhat complex. Financial processes (e.g. budgeting) are immature. Performance Management system in IT is in need of serious improvement.

      Thrive Elsewhere...

      Pros

      When you ask employees during the interview process and they tell you Kaiser is different..you better believe it. Everything here is different, the way project management is done, the red tape is thicker and in some cases insurmountable. The benefits are good, you have excellent choices, prescriptions as low as $5. You get to learn a lot here, if you find the right mentors. There are some very smart folks working here, but other departments have a lot to be desired for.

      Cons

      Red tape is equal to a government agency and I should know I've worked with them in the past. The process at Kaiser is more important than it's people. Consultants are treated better than FTE's, have more rights, get more perks..If you're a consultant at Kaiser..you'll thrive. Reviews are not done based on knowledge or skills, they are done on who you know and how hard you suck up to that individual..After 1.5 years I ask myself "why the hell did I want to work here in the first place?"..I'm going to thrive elsewhere..About 8 month ago I would have still recommended this company, but at this point all I can say is "run, save yourself!".
