Business outlook
Pros
Stability, reputation, good work/life balance, excellent benefits. UCSF employees participate in the CalPers California state retirement system, once of the few still in existence. In this lousy economic climate, UCSF is a very safe place to have a job. People are impressed when they hear I work at UCSF.
Cons
Bureaucratic, slow pace, high cost of living in San Francisco bay area. You will find that people at UCSF are career employees, and as such, they are very slow to change and adopt new practices. It's really hard to make ends meet when almost half of your salary is going towards housing.
