Pros
There’s real trust and ownership here: if you spot a problem and have a plan, you’ll be encouraged to fix it. The People team is lean but scrappy, with tons of room to build, move fast, and make visible impact. Coming from People Analytics and BI roles, I’ve expanded my technical toolkit more here than anywhere else — writing end-to-end solutions in Google Apps Script, building Python workflows, and partnering with engineering to deliver tools that scale. I’m also leading AI-driven HR projects, which wouldn’t be possible in more siloed orgs. Cross-functional collaboration is strong when you invest in relationships. The mission — making prescriptions more affordable — adds real meaning to the work, and you’re surrounded by smart, driven people who care about doing things right. There’s clear momentum too: better tooling, stronger exec focus, and a growing commitment to scale thoughtfully.
Cons
This is not a plug-and-play environment — you need to be highly proactive, think beyond your swim lane, and carve your own path. Expectations are high, and ambiguity is part of the deal. If you're used to clear guardrails or waiting for direction, this can feel overwhelming. It’s a place that rewards self-starters, but that can be a tough adjustment for some.
