Pros

-Smart, competent colleagues -Interesting projects & clients -Good training for entry-level consultants -Good exposure to how pharma/life science companies operate

Cons

Difficult to set boundaries while working from home & often felt overworked/burnt out. Mentors explained that the multiple busy weeks + Saturdays of working in a row were just part of the ebb & flow of the job, but I always felt like they could have been eased had the company just hired more people to do the work. If you are someone who thrives on being a workaholic, you would probably like it.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
