Pros
- Doing cool stuff. A team of really smart, driven individuals manages to pull some of the coolest data-driven findings, visualizations and studies out of their hats time and time again. - Big names in healthcare both as clients and as advisors and leaders. An amazing opportunity to work alongside industry celebs. - Opportunity to work on fun side projects. If you have an itch to dig into something you see in your client's data, you can dig into it - no matter your data science skill level!
Cons
- Not all employees dedicated to healthcare. Sure, it's a tech company, but it's really important for everyone to understand and believe in the mission - and get excited about it. It's hard to do amazing work without a high baseline of passion. - Remote employees suffer. Admittedly, the team is moving away from this and placing a greater importance on being local: it makes such a difference for everyone to have ad-hoc face time. - Lack of diversity in leadership. Lots of great experience coming in, but very little diversity across the top. - Limited attention on growing leaders. The emphasis on growing into a tech company has left a lot of gaps for resources who are not - or don't want to just be - ICs. This is very much in the employee's own hands if they want to grow as a leader. - Not super transparent. Some business decisions are not very well socialized, as is the nature of a board-led org at times. Without clear messaging, normal evolutionary changes can be very uncomfortable for junior resources.
