Pros

Working here gives you a tiny glimpse of the healthcare space and the associated challenges. But in my humble opinion, there are much better places to learn about this!

Cons

Going back to some of the previous reviews, there is definitely a poor work culture in the office. Even though "some" (I don't mean all, just a few) of the current employees are helpful, there is a lack of appreciation of work from the senior people. Work life balance is so bad throughout the year that it's laughable. I have friends who work at top tier firms who were with me on this when i told them about the things that happen within the firm.

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.
