Pros

Most of the analysts are nice people to work with and some projects can be interesting

Cons

Unless you're 100% sure you want to specialized in a very narrow field within pharmaceutical consulting, working here is wasting your time. There is very little client interaction and absolutely no work life balance. It's nothing short of a sweatshop in which they hire analysts to crunch through hundreds of slides each week.

Pros

Great exposure to variety of work subject matter, clients, strategy projects and leadership within project work after longer tenure. Good environment with smart motivated colleagues

Cons

Project experience varies with middle manager that you get staffed with, as some are fantastic, have great social/managing skills and enough experience to mentor or collab productively on slides/insights. Some simply don't.

Pros

Great client work and exposure to market access landscape, will set you up for great exits long term. Internal growth opps aplenty, but do require being strategic with projects/teammates you get placed on. ~2-3 projects at a time. Projects are mostly well paced, spread out, manageable 75% of the year.

Cons

Highly demanding work in fourth quarter, >70 hour weeks with >3 projects all asking for bandwidth. Can feel like a collegiate environment because everyone is similar in age which is great but... seniority presence feels like its missing.
