Pros

- it was good when i started as a JMW in 2020/2021, the team was small and i felt seen and appreciated

Cons

- toxic workplace environment even when you’re remote - senior mgt are so buddy buddy with eachother and they just prioritise people they see and work with daily, which makes it unfair for people remote. but then they say you should go into the office, but a nearly 2 hour commute 1-2 times a week when it’s not contracted JUST so you are seen, that is not fair. - long hours. you have to be 90% billable but you’re not allowed to put in your timesheet more hours than a project took. you’re always under resourced and then your hours are scrutinised when they don’t match. - towards the end i hated it. i felt like i was working above my level until i reached burnout and couldn’t do it anymore. then i got crucified.

Pros

The work was fun and they allow you to be creative.

Cons

Like any other place, now matter how hard you work, at the end of the year the $$$ determines how long you will last.

Pros

- Flexible time off policy - NYC in-office culture - will get promoted quickly - the work you're doing makes an impact for patients and the work can be really interesting!

Cons

If you're client facing beware. I've heard that non-client facing roles here are great, but if client facing be ready to surrender your entire life to here. Yes they have a flexible time off policy, but how/when you use it is totally team dependent. Client facing team members are extremely micromanaging and will make you go through 5 rounds of review to send a client email. The culture is terrible and you will become a nerves wreck
