Pros

- Lots of opportunities for meaningful work that has real impact on healthcare - Casual workplace with motivated, engaged, talented coworkers - Career advancement opportunities are plentiful - Lots of variety in types of work - Strong support from senior leadership and research directors - Pet friendly

Cons

- Work/life balance can be challenging on certain projects - Technological capabilities could be better (e.g., faster/more servers, better timekeeping software) - Lots of new hires are straight from college, so summers tend to have a lot of turnover with people going to grad school - Impossible to get to if you don't have a car as the public shuttle service is infrequent and inefficient - Time difference with east coast clients can be challenging

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.
