      UCLA Health provides a great work environment with outstanding benefits and (generally) upward mobility. Westwood is a great setting for any job, as well.

      Stop playing favorites with your employees, the bullying and when giving out your $5.00 starbucks coffee cards for Christmas please pass them out to all your employees.

      Pros

      Public sector job with great retirement, insurance, benefits. Great location.

      Cons

      Extreme politics. You'll be treated like a developer and used by lateral people for petty interests. No flexible hours in most departments. Most of the work is ad-hoc. You can be an individual contributor but cannot advance your career here. Pathetic facilities - cockroach infested basements, lack of basic needs - water, coffee. Restrooms are worst than public bus station ones.

      Advice to Management

      Please hire competent technical leaders who are non-political.
