Pros

There are many opportunities to create solutions that impact the lives of people in a positive way. Knowing that the work you are doing helps to advance research into drugs that may some day cure the ailments that most terrify humanity is both a humbling and rewarding experience.

Cons

The resources available are far outweighed by the amount of work that needs to be done, this occasionally leads to people being stretched to thin and can raise stress in some instances.

A good place to be for pharma consulting

Pros

IMS is one of the biggest players in pharmaceutical consulting, and has been great career started for me. You get exposure to some the biggest companies and get to work with some very experienced consultants.

Cons

IMS has had poor results with cross-practice projects and collaboration, especially within consulting. What this means for a recent college graduate is that your experiences will be limited to within your practice. Make sure you like what you're signing up for.

Cumbersome, inefficient, bureaucratic dinosaur.

Business Outlook

Pros

The severance package is nice - wish I'd get one. I really can't think of much that's positive about this company right now.

Cons

No one is empowered so nothing different is ever done. The company has enough money they can get away with being inefficient and introducing so many processes that nothing happens. Or, ever implementation costs a fortune. Total focus on top line revenue - no one even knows what anything actually costs. to produce. Wasteful of resources and money. Filled with people who've worked there 10 - 20 - 30 years and can't imagine doing anything differently than they always have.
