      Pros

      Great teamwork and collaboration, Opportunities for growth and success.

      Cons

      None but it is not a typical 9-5- those who are most successful are intrinsically motivated and passionate about the work they do.

          Recommend

          Business Outlook

          Pros

          (1)Competitive salaries for the health care industry (2)Flexible work schedule, including remote work, depending on job. (3)Good support for career advancement (4)Decent benefits for Tier 2 employees, including health, dental and vision insurance, retirement contributions, up to 40 days PTO/year, unlimited sick time (switches to disability insurance after 7 days), 1 cultural day (3) 7.5 hour work day with 1/2 hour lunch (5)8 Federal holidays observed at most locations by outpatient and many business units (New Years Day, MLK Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Xmas).

          Cons

          (1)With over 80K employees you can feel at little lost at times (2) Like any workplace, you can get toxic colleagues, or colleagues that seriously under-perform. While they are quick to terminate employees for certain violations (sexual harassment, violence, alcohol, etc), under-performers who can make you look bad are given too much time to reform and improve. Many of those just take advantage to ride the gravy train until the very end.

            Pros

            Benefits and pay are reasonable.

            Cons

            HR really needs to change. Physicians get a "physician concierge" which as far as I can tell acts as a wall between you and HR. I've emailed weekly for months to get simple information that I have a legal right to. It took 1 year, and a lawyer to get an answer to a line item on my paystub. I have received letters from HR that claim they performed multiple actions that were never performed. I believe in the 8 years I've dealt with them they've called me once, and I can count useful e-mails on my hands. Contract wise the wording includes promises that are contradicted in the policies of Northwell. I know I'm supposed to read everything a contract refers to. In this case it included all the policies of Northwell. Consider this my lesson learned not to trust anyone. It's funny the staffing issues were a problem, but my HR issues have been so excessive staffing takes second place. Northwell greatly reduced the number of physicians at my facility and made the job harder, and less rewarding. But again, this takes a back seat to the issues with HR.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
