Working at Kaiser Permanente

Great experience and employer. Kaiser Permanente is an employer of choice with great salary, benefits, and life/work balance. A little too unionized, but overall, Kaiser Permanente is great and very pro-employee.

I worked for Kaiser Permanente of Washington for about 7 months. That was all I could take. It was my first experience in Healthcare. In my overall opinion my, being hired, was a huge misfire. There is such an extreme employee turnover there, they are just looking for bodies, instead of actually hiring a person for what they can bring to the table. I have a lot of industry knowledge in my expertise and was told, basically, I was not going to be able to use any of it. Their security protocols are so tight you cannot even fart. My question to them would be, "Why hire a senior level developer in to do a job and them choke them to death not allowing them to use the tools they need to make the company a better place?" I wish anyone working there or choosing to move to them the best of luck in their endeavors, but with extreme push back their job is going to be more and more difficult to conduct. My recommendation would be to overlook them as an employer. On top of that Kaiser medical is not that great.
