Partners HealthCare Reviews in Boston, MA Area

Pros

The intern program included a lot of educational activities and opportunities to meet various leaders through out the organization.
Managers were very helpful and I received plenty of constructive feedback that helped me professionally.
I was treated like an equal within my department, rather than just an intern.

Cons

Such a large organization, it felt disconnected at times
Everyone was very busy, so it was difficult to find a time to meet with my manager or have my questions answered - more of an individual environment where you have to be self-motivated. This makes it easy to go unnoticed.

Pros

good work environment, there is not much stress

Cons

not much help provided by others. consultants are treated as outsiders and not included organization and faculty events. Any mistake is highlighted to all upper management to observe but good work is not appreciated.

Advice to Senior Management

treat all employees consultants and permanent equally

Pros

As a hospital system, the medical benefits are outstanding. All of my managers were strongly dedicated to my success and growth at Partners (and beyond).

Cons

Many of the positions are quite heavily focused, and this can be difficult for anyone looking for a broad range of experiences. Other managers can be shortsighted and unwilling to assist anyone hoping to advance.

Pros

Great to gain exposure to health care; Work for prestigious hospitals; Work with smart, motivated people; Can have a great work-life balance

Cons

Organization is too big and uncoordinated; many employees do not believe in the mission of health care and you feel like you are working for any big corporation

Advice to Senior Management

Transparency and decreasing the size of the working groups at Partners would be a huge benefit; most teams are simply too big for anyone to feel like they can make a difference

Pros

Get exposure to the hot topics in healthcare financing
Can work at home
Associated with Partners Healthcare, so there can be career mobility

Cons

Working at home was nice, but so many people are doing it that the company culture deteriorated.
May become unstable because of changes in healthcare financing.

Advice to Senior Management

There used to be a feeling of belonging and being "in-the-know" that everyone once felt. Try to get it back.
No excuses for not giving raises to everyone when we were the ones who got the docs their huge raises.
Stop communicating in sound bites - be open like you used to be.
