Pros

People are smart and enjoyable to work with; the firm culture is also nice, very team oriented and collegiate. The work is interesting, we strive for high quality, analytically driven solutions for our clients.

Cons

You need to like the Healthcare industry, because the majority of our clients are in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Medical Devices area. We are well known, and extremely respected in the healthcare industry, as much as McKinsey or BCG (see vault.com), but transition outside of this space has been very hard for us in the past 3-4 years.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
