We appreciate your candid and honest feedback. One point you make about pay is worth further discussion -- namely, our locality pay policy that incentivizes employees to work on-site rather than remotely. Employees or prospective applicants who would like to learn more should reach out to either HR or their Acumen recruiter. Thank you for posting on Glassdoor!

Good entry level job, lots of potential for growth

Data and policy analyst - statistical programmer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- If you land in a good team, you will feel very supported, you will learn a lot, and grow a lot. - Opportunity to have direct impact on the US healthcare system. - Opportunity to work with senior CMS officials. - Deep understanding of the Medicare and Medicaid policies. - Great opportunity to build up your data analysis and big data skills.

Cons

- The company couldn't get enough HHS contracts in early 2024 leading to a massive layoff of about 10% of the employees. - The attractive benefits that they used to offer prior to 2024, don't exist anymore due to the lack of contracts and funding. - If you are coming from a non data science or computer science background, you will be competing with data and CS people for promotions and the same positions. This may delay your progress at the company but you will learn a lot in the process. - Management is really just a couple of people. There is no such thing as a C-suite.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your perspective on Glassdoor, especially one that is so balanced, transparent, and thoughtful. As you mention, 2024 was a difficult year for our organization and employees. To reflect on last year, any reduction in workforce is regrettable, yet in 2024 management acted responsibly in reaction to the uncertainty and cutbacks in our clients’ tightening budgets. Nearly a year later, we remain optimistic about the future of AcuSPHERE and the important healthcare research that we see ahead for us. We hope your time here has served you well in your journey. Best wishes in your career and future endeavors.
