      Pros

      Petabytes of healthcare data ready to be analyzed. Laid-back work atmosphere of silicon valley but with east-coast clients and interesting problems. Smart, dedicated, educated, and passionate co-workers. Success is mostly self-determined with opportunities for promotions/salary increases. Decent perks and responsive organizational development group.

      Cons

      Management is hit and miss where some managers are good at providing opportunities to their employees while others are more interested in themselves. Work can be unpredictable on some projects due to incompetent clients and/or under-prepared project managers.

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
