Pros

Compensation is good (not great) Build analytical & communications skills Ultimate brand in pharma & med devices

Cons

Senior management demonstrates extremely poor leadership Penny wise, pound foolish approach to employee perks & benefits Must fit a very specific mold to be successful long term; GREAT talent is driven away every year because they don't walk the perfect walk

Associate consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the people esp junior Support functions - IT, HR, Admin very helpful Nice work if you like the specialization Well-known in pharma circles as a data shop if that is the career focus

Cons

NOT a consulting firm, at best software, petty excel models and analytics for pharma Tries to sell a consulting image at unis and bschools, work is mostly co-ordinating software tools and operational stuff Very poor senior managers and principals in the NY office, basically not selling much work and lower-level employees suffering as a result; Professional development is a joke Non-existent work life balance Not doing that well, some months this year, no projects were sold; Few people have consequently been let go recently
