Pros

Big company with plenty of options to move within. They do offer 6 weeks of maternity/paternity leave at 60%.

Cons

First, you will be underpaid no matter what at DaVita. 2016 internal survey data shows 54% of employees in DaVita believe they are compensated fairly compared to +70% industry average. Second, the culture is a lie. You may hear about how great the culture is at DaVita because of the Mayor, yes the CEO, dresses up in a 3 Musketeers costume at company cult initiations. Check out John Oliver from May 14, 2017. Lastly, office politics are out of control. I understand large companies have a standard level of politics but DaVita is out of control to the point managers from other teams comment on work schedule. An unwritten rule, you can not leave before 5 without being reprimanded.

Pros

Depending on location and your clinic, leadership team is incredibly supportive, which keeps the day-to-day work environment relatively stress-free. Having the independence to manage your own scheduling also allows for an excellent work-life balance.

Cons

The initial onboarding and training programs are highly disorganized and lack substance. Additionally, standard pay raises are quite low and do not feel competitive relative to the workload and current market value.
