Pros
I worked at ClearView for several years and generally loved the experience. I grew a lot as a young professional, generally enjoyed the work, and learned a lot from some incredible people. To be honest, the job isn't really for everyone, and that's ok. Here's what I will say--ClearView is a great place to work if you: - Want to work with extremely intelligent, diligent, and personable colleagues - Want to get up to speed on the biopharmaceutical industry very quickly - Want to specialize in solving problems specific to the biopharmaceutical industry - Want to grow quickly from a professional development standpoint - Are comfortable with receiving constructive feedback on a regular basis to promote your growth - Like the challenge of solving tough problems, sometimes in really tight time frames - Are comfortable with working late nights to get things done - Would prefer to avoid traveling to be at a client site Monday-Thursday, which is possible with the vast majority of projects the firm sells
Cons
While there are cons to working at ClearView, I would not say these are ClearView-specific--they feel much more like challenges that exist across all consultancies. Some of the top ones that come to mind: - Work-life balance can be tough, especially when you're new to consulting (e.g., 1 year or less) - Projects aren't always scoped properly (or scope can evolve quite quickly in the middle of a project), which can make the project experience challenging - You don't always get to see the decision that your clients have made downstream of your projects, which can feel unsatisfying
