Pros

Was able to spearhead projects and work on various scopes of work as a first-year analyst. Had a good manager but that can depend on the project. Felt there was an opportunity for growth at the company.

Cons

Need to have an interest in health policy or else work can be mundane. They required in-person and adjusted pay based on how many times you worked in person a week. New analysts were required to work in person 4 days a week. Senior management was mostly remote. Even though senior management was approachable, would have appreciated in-person presence at least once a week.

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.
