      Mission-driven work with talented colleagues, but limited progression in a small organisation

      Senior health economist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work is mission-driven and the impact is real — decisions directly influence access to medicines for New Zealanders. Colleagues are highly capable and intellectually curious. It’s a good place early in your career to gain exposure to public health and complex funding decisions.

      Cons

      The organisation is small, which means career progression opportunities can be limited unless someone more senior leaves. Workloads can become intense during decision cycles or when teams are under-resourced. Salaries are modest compared with pharmaceutical industry or consulting roles with similar technical skill requirements.

      Great place to work

      Funding advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Colleagues are driven and intelligent, work is meaningful and challenging, pay is decent

      Cons

      Can be high workload and at times high stress, slightly hierarchical, public opinion of Pharmac is low. For me this does not outweigh the pros
