Pros

Benefits Campus Shuttle system Views Interesting work Diversity You can stay forever...if you want

Cons

As a manager, you are of no value Directors will take credit for your efforts, in the form of hefty raises for themselves You will not get regular salary increases and in fact, will take home less after 5 years than you did in your first year HR and upper management pretend to want you to enforce policies but, when it comes down to it, will not support the process Too much worry about Gallup surveys and what the "staff" thinks. All efforts are superficial at best, to make UCSF an attractive place to work for managers. Managers must earn their bonus in the form of special goals that must be met and supported with validating documentation, spreadsheets and reports. Much of your bonus will be dependent on others doing their job. It is so much work justifying why you deserve it each year, that it isn't worth the "extra paycheck" that it amounts to. The sense of entitlement among staff that is nurtured by upper management

Pros

The people that work at UCSF are some of the most intelligent analysts I've ever worked with in 15 years of Health IT. Most are ex-Epic employees with strong backgrounds in project managament and IT,

Cons

UCSF recently decided to reclassify all remote employees as "Felxible" without their input or permission. As a result, employees must now travel to the office WITHOUT expenses paid. This means that flights, hotels, etc. are NOT reimbursed and are paid by the employee. UCSF has not answered to what problem they are trying to solve with this, and refuses to answer how this action aligns with goals such as sustainability (carbon emissions), equity (women and disabled are more impacted by eliminating remote work), working accommodating (UCSF does not have the physical space for all of the Clinical Systems department to be on site. There is no locked storage or accessible workspaces.), safety (there is no shuttle for UCSF to all locations that have been mentioned for work). UCSF limits employee growth, by eliminating actual promotions with "role based work". In other words, you have to do more work without compensation for it. They have also completely reneged on remote management, meaning that most employees are now at a dead end.
