UCLA Health reviews

The bureaucracy is definitely unwieldy. It took me 6 months to get hired, and 3 more months to get my own desk phone. However, once I was established in my position a while, it was smooth sailing. Also, offices are required to create a public job posting, even if they already have someone in mind for a position (and even if they receive hundreds of resumes, they will select that person anyway). Be wary of postings that require absurdly specific skills, as they may have been written with a particular person in mind. The job application interface only allows you to apply to 5 postings at a time, so choose wisely. Finally, if you do want to work here, plan to live close or live near public transit. UCLA and Westwood are notoriously short of parking spaces, and UCLA spots are sold to employees for $200/month, might be far away from your office, and that's only if you win the parking lottery. Everything is really close in Westwood though, so there's little need for a car in the area.

my boss would gaslight me, question my degree and overall bully me into feeling unsafe, scapegoat me, insult me in front of other people. but sometimes be nice to me only to insult me the next day.... Also they would call me at 5 am just to yell at me. They would also just insult me about things unrelated to the job and clearly said stuff to me because I'm a young asian female and not a old white person. I started going to counseling about 1 month in (in retrospect some of the bullying started during the interview process) and the therapist said that my boss was toxic and that I was in an "unsafe work environment" but I had rent to pay and just signed a 1 year lease and so I stayed, hoping it would get better. It did not. After about 7ish months I felt such high burnout, that I feared going to work and started avoiding my job and eventually had to leave. I tried to explain this to HR (many times in multiple meetings and emails) and they did nothing.
