Pros
- The atmosphere is quite good within the intern team, the company is always looking to maintain a multicultural team. Unreal experience.
- Lunch outings and drink events on a regular basis, it is always fun.
- Good exposure to the life sciences industry, good networking opportunities
- Client partners and country managers have expertise in their specific sectors and have a good network which can help you at a lot of times.
Cons
- Unstable structure of the company, lack of professionalism on the part of some consultants, multiculturalism is currently restricted to the intern's level.
- A lot of candidate interviews cancelled without feedback from consultants, rejected candidates never informed because of the constant focus on approaching the maximum number of candidates,
- Saying the work is challenging or the work is stressful are different things, the projects run solely on interns' hard work (often >50% of the project)
- While we pretend that the consultants are easily approachable, often the support is good for nothing, leaving interns to figure out everything on their own
- Interns imposed with weekly targets to be achieved in terms of the number of interviews scheduled for consultants. Complete disregard for project situation, market for talent and long-term project goals
- Broken recruitment software and company phones not working, but the IT team is either not on the desk or has no idea how to fix the issue
- Pay for the interns?
