The Typical Day
Summit’s employees enjoy varied personal and professional interests, but here is a typical day in the life of one of our employees:
- To begin the day, arrive at Summit’s centrally located, metro-accessible office in the heart of Washington D.C.’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
- Sit down at your desk in Summit’s open-air collaborative environment. Check emails from overnight to address client requests, needs, or concerns and provide colleagues with updates on the files and documents you’ve been working on.
- At 10 am, attend the regularly-scheduled team meeting to check in with Manager and engagement leaders.
- Grab a snack and a drink from Summit’s break room fridge.
- Schedule a dry-run of a presentation you created for the client, inviting team members and engagement leads that can offer helpful insight.
- Take another look at the requirements for an upcoming proposal that you’ll assist in creating.
- For lunch, swing by a food truck for a quick bite, sit down with a few coworkers at a restaurant across the street, or take a break and eat lunch in Summit’s spacious kitchen.
- Take Capital Bikeshare to the client site to discuss technical documentation or datasets that you need to complete a deliverable analysis report.
- Hold one-on-one working sessions with team members to solve problems or brainstorm new ways of approaching a challenge.
- Prepare for a Summit-led training session you’ll attend later in the week that will cover econometric methods and time-series forecasting.
- Per an email request, review an Analyst’s draft report and provide feedback.
- At the end of the day, relax with some coworkers in a more casual setting. Grab a drink around Capitol Hill or walk down to the National Mall for seasonal events, such as Jazz in the Garden or Screen on the Green.
