Trust the negative reviews - Data and Policy Analyst - Statistical Programmer Acumen Employee Review

- If you work as a statistical programmer, work is very very robotic. No room for creativity or innovation at all. You receive a list of tasks. Then your job is to create an accurate data table every now and then. Very boring job. - Data management is a joke. Everyone keeps their codes ONLINE. If anything happens to the system, you'll lose them all. - No support is provided. You are on your own. Expect that the first SAS training is the only support / guidance you can get. - Do not expect that you can work on data analysis. As it's clear in the job title, it is pretty much a programmer. You receive a specification from your team. Then you need to work on it. No analysis or interpretation as it is a coordinator's job. Creating a data table is your job as a programmer. - Again, no analytic work at all. The majority of Acumen's work is just to demonstrate the summary statistics. Mean/ median, quartlies etc. That's it. Very boring.
