Pros

great soft skills-building experience; hands-on practice managing projects; heavy initial learning curve is good for fresh grads as preparation for career; new hires are generally friendly and outgoing

Cons

your immediate supervisor makes/breaks you and you better get on his/her good side within a week or your time there will be hell; your immediate supervisor does not actually supervise your work and only manages through "feedbacks", which can certainly get twisted through the grapevine; your success depends more on politics/luck than output, so pray for a competent customer team and manager who fights for you; 0 work-life balance, if you have any, you're surely on your way out soon; people don't like working there, everybody starts complaining within a year

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
