What Darwinians Say
"_My favorite thing about working at Darwin is the availability of opportunity. Anyone, no matter how recently they joined the team, has the opportunity to contribute to new and interesting projects. Many companies claim to be invested in personal and professional development, but Darwin actually comes through in this regard. I am constantly presented with learning opportunities and we regularly have “lunch & learn” seminars to keep us up-to-date on industry trends. The whole team has been so encouraging through my entire graduate school journey, from offering to help with my application materials to celebrating my acceptance letter, and they continue to support me now that my program has begun. Definitely a great company for anyone considering or currently in graduate school."_
– Katherine Smith, Research Analyst
“The ability to gain knowledge of the business side of health care is what has drawn me to Darwin. Coming from the clinical side of health care delivery, the position at Darwin seemed like the perfect transition out of a patient-facing role while still appealing to my overarching career interest. Working with a team of like-minded, smart, and motivated coworkers is icing on the cake.”
– Sam Yates, Director of Quality
