      Pros

      nice view decent place to start your career right after college

      Cons

      salary is just ok; no work/life balance; people are leaving at a rapid rate; many people are stuck at Acumen because the H1B visa Acumen sponsors is a non-profit H1B. and it is hard to ask them to sponsor green card for you even though you have been working there for more than three years!

      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.
