Pros
The only positive point point about Alcimed are the fellow consultants. But the turnover is super high in this company, people don't stay long-time here.
Cons
- Low salary with long working hours. Most of the times consultants work till 8, sometimes all the way till late night, yet being paid barely more than 30k a year. - Foreigner consultants are paid less than French consultants. Alcimed takes advantage of the weak position of consultants that need a visa and offers ridiculously low salaries to them. - Bad project management! Managers have no experience as such. There is not proper training for young managers, they struggle to deal with the work load and cope with the stress. As a results, consultants pay the price. - The projects and recommendations are only based on interviews with people who are supposed to be experts in the field. Consultants are encouraged to get the information fast rather than to get good and reliable information. Thus, the final results of the projects are based on badly conducted interviews, with figures and conclusion written to make the clients happy. - The business developers are under a lot of pressure to sell more and more projects. In order to sign out more contracts, they will lower the cost to minimum, meaning that consultants have to make a 6-month project in half of time because the business developer sold fewer days.
