A great institution to be part of it; I worked here as Senior Statistical Analyst

Senior Statistical Analyst (Former Employee)
Houston, TX

I worked at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center full-time for less than a year

ProsIt offers an academic environment with huge community of researchers and investigators. Got opportunity to mange and analyze data with millions of records of cancer patients which would not be available elsewhere. Inferential statistics which yield new methodologies and new solutions. I developed a new method for early detection of acute kidney injury among cancer patient with creatinine as bio-marker.

ConsBased on the huge size and diverse nature of various departments, HR department works like postoffice and local managers tend to hire like minded people.

Advice to Senior ManagementNew hires must be cross verified by 2 referees at random by the institution anonymously to avoid conglomeration of same ethnic, gender of religious subgroups. Some labs you will see only Chinese or Indians and other people become hesitant to apply there due to possibility of adverse work condition and this can be avoided.

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
