Pros
As my title says, I was immediately started on high-profile projects and given critical responsibilities, even as a brand-new analyst. There are high standards, but also a strong network of peers and colleagues that are willing to help you at the drop of a hat. Since then, I have learned so much about the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry. With each new project and challenge surmounted, I realize the level of experience and expertise I've gained, and feel like my hard work is well-rewarded by senior management. We work for the highest-profile clients on products facing the most relevant challenges in healthcare/pharmaceuticals today - every new project is more exciting than the last!
Cons
As with any quickly-growing company, the shifting company culture can sometimes be dizzying. However, senior leadership has been consistent in their message, and ongoing internal initiatives aim to build a strong internal identity and improve worker retention. Consulting can be difficult for its long hours and unpredictable schedule, but Promidian is more manageable in that more junior staff are not often expected to travel, and are encouraged to give constant feedback to their colleagues and managers to manage their work-life balance.
