      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. perfect work-life balance (this may depend on your team and manager) 2. generous paid time off policy (25 days for senior analysts) 3. exposed to interesting projects/techniques if you're interested in healthcare industry (also depends on your team)

      Cons

      1. compensation not very competitive 2. may find this experience not that helpful for job-searching if you're trying to get to a different industry (due to the type of projects, the programming languages used, etc.) 3. restrictions on immigration policy for international students (i.e. only sponsor cap-exempt H1B)

      Data analyst to policy lead

      Policy lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Awesome opportunities to work on truly impactful research projects in the policy/healthcare space. The work you do feels meaningful, and not strictly profit driven as is the case in most companies. Get to work with some very smart and hardworking people.

      Cons

      Large influx of new projects, many of which feel understaffed. The company has tried to mitigate this problem by hiring new analysts, but this can sometimes exacerbate the problem instead since many new hires come straight out of university and need months of training. As a result, senior analysts/managers take on the brunt of the work and often put in long hours.

      Thanks for leaving us a review. We have really turned a corner and have been hiring a lot more senior analyst in the last year. We continue to improve in this area. Please don't hesitate reaching out to our recruiting team to discuss this further.
