KP provides opportunities for a career with great people who do work that matters.

Finance manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great social mission. Important work. Great people. Low risk environment and fairly recession proof. Politics exists but it is less fierce than in many other environments. Potentially our nation's best shot at fixing healthcare. The organization is willing to make large investments in IT, capital, and other areas to succeed and lead the industry.

Cons

There are pockets of exceptional people and fantastic working environments, but there are also very challenging places to work with less than ideal opportunity for advancement. Very complex organization that can take some time to learn how to navigate. Very consensus driven making decision making somewhat more slow and more complicated than in other organizations.

Great company to retire at

Finance director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, longevity - people tend to stay at TPMG for a long time, layoffs are rare or non-existent, work with some really intelligent folks - the docs, learn a lot about the healthcare industry - since TPMG is the physician arm of Kaiser Permanente - you have access to data from a fully integrated model

Cons

Longevity - people who have been with the org for 10, 20, 30 years are not likely to change or effect change; slow bureacracy; leadership - some good and others not so good - org does not effectively get rid of those not good - at best, just shuffles them
