Pros

Reasonable working hours. Exposure to the healthcare and pharma industry, and a good stepping stone to other jobs in consultancy

Cons

Essentially a 'competitive intelligence agency' not a strategy consultancy firm Sr management are far too cliquey - others can very quickly feel excluded, particularly as such a small team. Passive bullying exists Inadequate training provided to new staff.

Our business is a people business, and we recognize that as a company we are only as good as our team. Therefore, our aim is and always has been to foster a positive culture of support and growth for all employees.

Pros

Working at Align Strategy has provided exciting opportunities to support cross-functional pharmaceutical brand and development teams. Project engagements often include workshops with senior-level teams in a dynamic and energetic environment. The opportunity to facilitate teams through decision-making processes is an exciting way to bring analysis of key market issues facing pharma and biotech brands to life. I have been so privileged to work with a team of bright, driven, and highly supportive colleagues who are always willing to share their knowledge and insights to help approach a project challenge in new ways.

Cons

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work in such a unique consulting environment. The team works hard to deliver high-quality analysis and guidance to our clients while being extremely supportive of one another.

Pros

High growth opportunities, far-reaching pharma industry exposure, great team environment Since coming on as a consultant, my experience working with the team at Align has been overwhelmingly positive for various reasons: Opportunity for growth: New and challenging opportunities are always introduced at the right time, and the projects are ever-changing and never dull. Individualized development: The environment at Align gives you room to be creative and contribute ideas, but still provides the underlying structure and support to learn and grow in your role and beyond. Management team: Each member of the Align management team is an outstanding mentor- each with their own style, experience, and strengths. They encourage the development of your own style underpinned by the skills and individual experience gathered across projects. Company culture: Members of Align love what they do and are good at doing it. It’s a very happy place to work, and everyone is equally dedicated to delivering work of a certain standard. Additionally, the Align founders truly do put their people first and foremost and show their appreciation for hard work- that plays a big part in how fulfilling of an experience it is to work there. Work-life balance: In the context of consulting positions in general, the work-life balance at Align is great.

Cons

Demanding clients at times- but that’s consulting for you!
