Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente as an intern

ProsFriendly environment and the management really invested into the interns.

ConsOther interns had managers that were too busy to give them work, but mine was great! They should probably implement a way to monitor the value of the internship program to both parties (the intern and the company).

Corona, CA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente for more than a year

ProsPeople here are very friendly, and have a big believe in the vision of the organization. The level of experience and professionalism for majority of employees is high and you can learn something new almost everyday and from every interaction.

ConsAlthough the organization is trying to consolidate, the large size and number of employees can be a problem. Complexity of the organization processes can be a challenge in the first couple of months, but soon you will learn that each step in the process is very important to succeed.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Oakland, CA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGreat culture. Lots of advancement opportunities if you're willing to work hard.

ConsYou literally have to punch your manager in the face to get fired; so there are some "government employees" that have been here forever that don't deserve to be.
