Pros

The company is a small specialist boutique well known in its niche in healthcare. Employees get to work on projects of all types, interact with high-level client executives, engage in deep analysis, and see projects from start to finish. The company seeks to be "performance oriented." If you have ideas, you can pitch them and they will definitely be considered. I have worked on many issues inside and outside my exact job description. I have visited customer sites and attended high level executive meetings,which was pretty cool. The company values "being proactive." If you press forward with an idea or solution, you'll get to work on it and you'll advance in the company. If you require a lot of structure and direction, you may flounder.

Cons

The company seeks to be performance-oriented -- but it doesn't get rid of lower performing people as quickly as some would like to see. "Fairness" is a big theme in the company. But that has allowed some negative and low performing people to hide or hang around way too long. Also, the level of useful supervision is lite. You have to seek out guidance at times. You can't depend on daily or weekly meetings with your managers to provide that kind of guidance. The place is small and family-oriented, so you can get that type of job and career guidance pretty easily. But you have to seek it out. You also work on many different kinds of projects and activities. For people who are super structured and like to go deep on one thing, you'll be frustrated because you have to juggle multiple balls.

Thank you for your thoughtful reflections on your work experience and our company. We'll continue to work hard on cultivating a performance-culture, where people's talents can shine, while we also strive to remain fair to policies designed to support all employees' well being. We have recently done just what you recommended: improving our performance review process and career path development systems. There's lots more to improve . . I'm glad you recognize that your ideas count and you can "pitch" ideas to help us improve service to our clients or any other aspect of the company. I look forward to cheering for your many future successes here at Best Practices. -- CEO of Best Practices

Pros

Nice team! Very smart and helpful CEO supported by a friendly and excellent team of researchers. Clients find significant value in various benchmark research offerings that inform Launch Excellence Strategy, Resourcing, Staffing, Planning, Engagement, and Measurement across both Commercial and Medical Affairs functional areas.

Cons

Dated CRM is challenging for effective outreach campaign deployment and follow up. Multiple sellers calling on same clients can create confusion and distraction, both internally and with clients.
