Pros

The benefit plan, if you don't mind Kaiser, is good. The retirement benefits are good.

Cons

Honestly, this is the most hypocritical and horrible working place. There is so much territorial bickering and lack of working towards a common goal. Management isn't interested in actual results - just how they are perceived. Do something mediocre and shout it out as a win. Smear the next guy who finds it doesn't work and claims he's incompetent. The spend BILLIONS on IT projects and, when they don't work they just start over doing the same things over and over with different vendors. Let's face it, it's not KP's fault - it was the last vendor. Zero accountability for anything. Shocking waste. One has to question how the medical groups which are for profit wield so much authority over the health plan which is non-profit. Or is it a tax Dodge to line physician pockets. To top it off I feel like the medical care is poor. Doctors seem to want to solve everything with a pill. Opioid crisis? Look at this place .

Pros

Great partnerships, excellent health benefits, potential for very forward thinking work.

Cons

Toxic work environment where mediocrity and questionable ethics are alive and well. Subpar competency in senior level staff, and nothing is done about it. If you’re a hard worker and seek to make true changes, don’t go there. You’ll become a target and will get fought at every turn by people who want to maintain a status quo of coasting without really achieving anything. Very unfortunate waste of great potential.
