Pros

The consulting projects are great learning experiences and interesting.

Cons

Three major cons: 1) Lack of work life balance 2) Some of the consultants were pretty nasty and unprofessional. I would get calls at 11 pm ET asking me to finish projects by 2 am ET, believing this was acceptable practice. 3) Not a strategy management consultant shop. One person told me that the firm is a strategy consulting firm. They are not. I worked for a strategy consulting firm before. Completely different work, project economics and system set up.

Pros

Incredible management, very communicative, most supportive and kind people i have ever worked with. They want to see you succeed on your contracts and are your safe space for questions and learning. I have never been more pleased with a company. Unlimited PTO

Cons

Most of their recognition is paid out in internal points instead of actual money

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
