Precision AQ reviews

There's no onboarding or training process for new employees since everyone is already so overburdened with their workloads. There's way too much unnecessary stress due to inefficiency, disorganization, and wastefulness. No project is ever precise or overly effective, and trying to get anything done incites World War III on most teams due to clashing personalities. There's essentially no work/life balance, and there are several employees that are very gossipy and often just mean for no good reason, which drives down morale. Everyone there seemed perpetually miserable and it was rare that anyone was NOT complaining about their frustrations. There are occasional training sessions, but they're often useless. There's no mentorship from management, and managers mostly complain about their direct reports instead of helping them grow in their careers. There are lots of unfounded big ego's.

The agency, at the end of the day, is no different than the majority of other pharma advertising agencies. They do the same types of deliverables with little innovation. Their new offices are in a building which is in in a sketchy part of town. Lots of cubicles with people housed like cattle. Noise, noise, noise, You have to pass homeless people and drug dealers to get into the office. Some of the top management are too controlling. While Precision Effect can draw on some of their sister agencies for scientific help, their "Medical Department" is very weak and led by person with an MA in English! This does not inspire scientific/medical credibility in the least. None of their Boston-based medical writers have advanced scientific degrees (PhD, PharmD, MD, DO). All in all, the company is a mirror image of a million other pharma advertising. They have grown in size, but not in innovative ideas. This is very surprising given the fact that Boston is full of highly trained docs and scientists.
