Pros

KP is uniquely positioned in the health care industry as both a provider and insurer, and with health care reform in progress, it is interesting to have an insider's view of a major health care company's actions and reactions in this period of transition. While there are a lot of interesting projects going on throughout the company's administrative departments, as well as in the health care realm, and teams are very busy keeping up with various initiatives and trying to master a constantly changing environment, KP management seems to be very committed to preserving a work-life balance.

Cons

Leadership often opts to keep its distance from the details of the day-to-day work, problems, and obstacles of those tasked with getting the work done. Management's efforts to improve areas of the corporate culture that employees cite as needing improvement often seem half-hearted or lacking in substance.
