Pros

KP offers a great benefits package, better than you could find anywhere. Job security is pretty high. In large part this is due to the fact that Kaiser is a high performing organization, well-positioned in the marketplace.

Cons

Not surprisingly, at KP's size, things tend to move slowly. The culture differs across entities, so any review for "Kaiser Permanente" may or may not apply to your specific department.

Pros

Great career opportunities if willing to relocate. Can also move around laterally at same location gaining increased diverse experiences

Large organization which is unionized. It takes a lot of time to "learn the system". Must be able to work in a team environment --- independent people do not last
