      Pros

      Some of the people esp junior Support functions - IT, HR, Admin very helpful Nice work if you like the specialization Well-known in pharma circles as a data shop if that is the career focus

      Cons

      NOT a consulting firm, at best software, petty excel models and analytics for pharma Tries to sell a consulting image at unis and bschools, work is mostly co-ordinating software tools and operational stuff Very poor senior managers and principals in the NY office, basically not selling much work and lower-level employees suffering as a result; Professional development is a joke Non-existent work life balance Not doing that well, some months this year, no projects were sold; Few people have consequently been let go recently

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Exposure to large-scale projects and enterprise clients - Opportunity to work on modern technologies and data platforms - Strong technical talent within teams

      Cons

      - Leadership and management practices are heavily influenced by offshore working styles, which can create misalignment with local work expectations in the U.S. - Work-life balance can be difficult, with expectations around extended hours and frequent overlap with offshore teams - Limited flexibility around boundaries outside standard working hours - High workload and pressure can make long-term sustainability challenging for some employees - Team inclusivity and engagement can sometimes feel uneven, with opportunities for more balanced collaboration across all team members - Retention challenges observed among employees not aligned with the prevailing work style
