All the reviews you've seen about the Junior Data Analyst role, and similar roles attempting to attract young graduates is 100% true. Distinct lack of respect from management, and despite some fairly recent changes to the department, you are still treated as a child and are held to an archaic standard that is designed by business people looking to make money, who know absolutely nothing about clinical data or healthcare. Open office space is loud, and you'll get to watch departments who are paid better than you come in hours late, leave early (while you have to stay past 6 or 7pm on a regular basis to "meet quota").
Each department is ran incredibly differently, and the entire operation is very disorganized. CEO regularly talks about how much new money he's brought into the company but still no word of matching 401K or providing paid maternity leave or vacation (the unlimited vacation policy is a lie and a ruse to not pay out unused vacation days when employees turnover). Absolutely no true advancement for JDAs or entry-level positions in this company - you'll maybe get a $1000 raise after a year, regardless of whether you were a top performer in the role or had additional responsibilities. If you're truly lucky, you might get made a DA, where you'll get more responsibility without additional pay.
