Never recommend

Administrative Accountant (Former Employee) - San Diego, CA - June 9, 2023

I would never recommend working at Kaiser Permanente. Overworked and just an unethical company with high employee turn over. No one ever lasted and seniority always had the upper hand. Leaving this company was a breath of fresh air.

Horrible management

RN Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - San Jose, CA - June 8, 2023

Worst place to work as RN. RN has to work as MA, scheduler, janitor…. Horrible management which doesn’t care about nurses and patient safety, not supportive at all.

Good workplace

QA Tester (Former Employee) - Pleasanton, CA - June 6, 2023

Overall great place to work

Senior Consulting Data Analyst (Former Employee) - Oakland CA - June 6, 2023

Great place to work with good benefits and work life balance. However, growth was very limited and it was easy to become siloed. It takes a long time to see progress and at times can feel very bureaucratic.

Not amazing, not the worst

Engineer (Current Employee) - Remote - June 4, 2023

Great place to start a career, decent benefits. Within some orgs, opportunities for advancement are severely limited by overly strict qualification requirements, particularly around having specific numbers of years of experience and direct managerial experience. Many folks have to leave and get leadership experience elsewhere before coming back.

Good place to start or coast

Project Manager (Former Employee) - Portland, OR - June 2, 2023

Good company, takes care of their employees. Lots of areas to transfer to if interested. Definitely a place where your internal connections get you places, so if not into office politics, don’t be too frustrated by this.

Limited Opportunity for Contract Employee

Pharmacist (Former Employee) - Remote - June 1, 2023

This was a contract opportunity and there was no opportunity to convert to a permanent position. It was nice to work remotely, but in the end, due to the budget and plans they were not able to convert the group of contract employees I was hired with. The teams I worked under provided support and resources.
