How are the career development opportunities at Northwell Health?

The company offers a great team environment, supports remote work, promotes cultural awareness, and encourages a healthy work-life balance. They also provide tuition reimbursement, which helps employees further their education and career growth.

- They do not compensate employees for earning higher education while working with the company. - Pay is not distributed fairly; some employees with fewer responsibilities are paid more than those with heavier workloads. - New hires are often paid more than long-term employees. - Management tries to give the impression that salaries are equal across the board, but it’s misleading — many employees have discussed their pay and confirmed otherwise. - Even after earning a professional license or higher degree, the raises given are minimal and do not reflect the added value or qualifications.

The downsides of working here far outweigh any potential benefits. There are virtually no true "perks" to working in healthcare, aside from the insurance—which isn’t even that great. Employees are essentially required to see doctors within the organization unless they’re willing to pay costly out-of-network fees. This practice feels like a conflict of interest and should be illegal, as it means employees’ personal health information is stored in the organization’s EMR, potentially accessible by other staff members.

Leadership operates with an overwhelming level of micromanagement, treating experienced professionals as if they are entry-level employees incapable of making basic decisions. Even something as simple as how we dress is dictated to us, as if years in the workforce haven’t already taught us how to present ourselves professionally. This lack of trust and autonomy has created an environment where employees feel undervalued and disrespected. Management’s approach to leadership is riddled with contradictions and inefficiencies. They insist they want feedback, yet when concerns are raised, they are met with vague reassurances and zero follow-through. Instead of taking real steps to improve workplace conditions, they offer superficial gestures—snacks and company swag—instead of the fair wages, promotions, and recognition that hardworking employees actually deserve and actually care about. The nonstop back-and-forth on remote work has been chaotic. What started as a fully remote role was suddenly shifted to hybrid, then back to remote, only for management to unexpectedly require an in-office return with no consideration for employees' personal obligations. Parents who depend on consistency to plan for childcare and family responsibilities have been left struggling to adapt. This constant instability is not only frustrating but also a blatant disregard for work-life balance. For a healthcare organization to show such little concern for its employees' well-being is both ironic and hypocritical.

It can be easy to move up or transfer. There's a lot of opportunity for career growth and networking.

Onboarding team members are over worked and under paid. They often don't receive help from leadership until it's too late.

Great company to always grow and progress if your changing fields and willing to learn at a fast pace

Insurance benefits are extremely expensive

As an entry level genetic counselor, this place offered lots of expertise and opportunities to practice my skills

There are limited options for career advancement

During my time at Northwell Health, I was part of a culture that truly valued innovation, collaboration, and compassionate care. The environment promoted personal growth and teamwork, empowering us to bring forward ideas and make a meaningful difference in patient care. It was inspiring to work alongside colleagues who shared a commitment to excellence and improving lives in our community.

While I valued the collaborative and growth-oriented culture at Northwell Health, I decided to return to a previous employer in healthcare to pursue an opportunity that aligned closely with my career path and professional goals. My time at Northwell was rewarding, and I left with a deep appreciation for the supportive team and mission-driven environment.

There are no pros to joining this department anymore. Pay may be decent but it doesn't outweigh the stress and anxiety.

The Chief Digital Officer from Mt. Sinai is toxic. They have destroyed what was once an incredible place to work. The culture was amazing and staff would have done anything that was asked. Since joining Northwell, that culture is gone. Poor decisions are being made out of fear of retribution impacting the quality of work. Executive's, especially HR don't seem to care. Unless you are on the Epic team, they could care less about you. The Epic team only outsiders so there is no opportunity to move up. This is now the worst place to work and the new CEO doesn't care. Also, they brought Deloitte in to replace the existing staff so most positions are being let go and replaced with consultants.

Workplace culture, benefits (health insurance, 401k), career growth opportunities

No cons at the moment

Solid established industry standard processes

Pay is low and room for advancement limited

Benefits are excellent. Really strong work/life balance, and a company that genuinely cares about your wellbeing.

As a junior or mid-level employee, it's really hard to work your way up. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could, because it is a healthy work environment, but there is often no clear career path while of course the senior level executives are fabulously compensated and always getting promoted. It's like they don't know what to do with the more junior ones. It also can be very complex navigating an 85,000+ person organization.
