      Pros

      - Lots of interesting and impactful research - Opportunities for growth; hard work and knowledge/skills are recognized - Talented and friendly coworkers - Lots of valuable learning experiences - Options for work on different teams and internal recruiting - Choice of work locations (remote, Burlingame, LA, DC)

      Cons

      - Experience varies based on teams and managers. - Analyst training is sometimes a difficult first experience at the company - Senior management does not always do a lot to facilitate a sense of team purpose on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes more junior employees feel disconnected from the broader purpose of their work, and managers do not always do a good job of explaining this

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a very detailed review. We appreciate your time and thoughts, especially as we have created a new Employee Development department to work directly on employee training.

      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.
