Pros

Good benefits. Retirement benefits after you are vested five years in. Can work in other state departments as a UCSF contractor (e.g., state public health). Don't know much about working at UCSF proper; just at state dept. I have also appreciated that they have been very vocal in support of undocumented students during the current attacks from the White House.

Cons

Travel reimbursement process is cumbersome and bureaucratic

Pros

Close-nit community; if looking for direct patient engagement, you get it as a volunteer

Cons

Just when obtaining badge, the communication between the badge department and volunteer department could be better. Since times I have gone in, the badge department said they didn't get the form but volunteer department said they sent it.

Pros

The people that work at UCSF are some of the most intelligent analysts I've ever worked with in 15 years of Health IT. Most are ex-Epic employees with strong backgrounds in project managament and IT,

Cons

UCSF recently decided to reclassify all remote employees as "Felxible" without their input or permission. As a result, employees must now travel to the office WITHOUT expenses paid. This means that flights, hotels, etc. are NOT reimbursed and are paid by the employee. UCSF has not answered to what problem they are trying to solve with this, and refuses to answer how this action aligns with goals such as sustainability (carbon emissions), equity (women and disabled are more impacted by eliminating remote work), working accommodating (UCSF does not have the physical space for all of the Clinical Systems department to be on site. There is no locked storage or accessible workspaces.), safety (there is no shuttle for UCSF to all locations that have been mentioned for work). UCSF limits employee growth, by eliminating actual promotions with "role based work". In other words, you have to do more work without compensation for it. They have also completely reneged on remote management, meaning that most employees are now at a dead end.
