Anyone here working on a Data Science team @ Aetna? I'm currently interviewing and would like some more detail beyond what the recruiters/interviewers have shared. The role I'm interviewing for is in the Digital space (Consumer Tech Analytics team), which involves partnering with product teams @Aetna. Some major themes I'm looking for: 1. Nature of work - is it geared more towards ML/model building vs Analytics vs Experimentation (A/B testing) 2. Team/manager backgrounds - have heard that managers/leaders at Aetna usually have a consulting background, can someone verify that. Peer learning is important to me, so want to know if team members/managers have a technical/DS background 3. Company culture - it's healthcare so obv won't be super new-age but are leaders/business teams willing to try new things vs sticking to older ways of thinking/doing things. Are employees encouraged to learn/upskill themselves 4. Benefits - heard a LOT about how the employee insurance plans suck (super ironic). Anyone willing to share more? 5. WLB - expectations around working evenings/weekends. Long term projects (room to learn and pace yourself) vs short term projects (putting out weekly fires by doing some ad-hoc analysis) I've been applying to FAANG roles as well, but not getting any call backs. Not sure if I should wait for "the perfect role" and so considering non-FAANG as well. I know I can get some of these answers by asking the HM/team members, but want to know the inside scoop. Happy to talk offline as well, let me know :) TC: 135K YOE: 7 #Aetna #cvs #healthcare #datascience #datascientist #companyreviews #companyculture #dataanalytics
I hear the comp there sucks and the workload is huge since the team leads are ex mckinsey - so people leave within a year. Let me know if it’s true lol
