      We appreciate your candid and honest feedback. One point you make about pay is worth further discussion -- namely, our locality pay policy that incentivizes employees to work on-site rather than remotely. Employees or prospective applicants who would like to learn more should reach out to either HR or their Acumen recruiter. Thank you for posting on Glassdoor!

      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.
