Pros
The work you do here really makes you feel like you have a significant impact on the healthcare of the Kaiser members.
Cons
Since Kaiser is so big it is like a bureaucracy with many politics at play.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente.
Interview
This is the worst interview experience I've ever had. The HR lady didn't respect me at all. I am still working during my OPT time and I put Yes for the question "Do you need a Sponsorship now or in the future?" I can understand if you don't want to hire international people, but she consisted I am a liar and she said I didn't mention I need the sponsorship. I checked the document I sent to her, there is a big "Yes" for the sponsorship. If the HR doesn't know how to respect their candidate who has the passion to contribute, how could the company select the right fit? The HR at Kaiser Permanente at LA office is so terrible! Besides, she called me at 5:30 PM PST, so unprofessional!

A 'silent epidemic' is ravaging our country and we must address it now
This post is part of Business Insider's ongoing series on Better Capitalism. Bernard J. Tyson is the CEO of Kaiser Permanente. He argues that we should be doing more to address mental illness in the United States. Letting it go untreated has an economic toll, he says, and productivity would increase with better care and reduced stigma.
