- Echoing previous reviews here when saying that Trinity is a market research firm, contrary to what they would like you to believe in interviews. Little to none of the work is "strategic" in nature ... even for strategy consultants who were hired for the role. A typical Trinity project involves interviewing physicians/payers or conducting a survey and summarizing findings to clients. If you're looking to get into healthcare-focused management consulting, look elsewhere. You'll spend most of your time drafting interview guides or putting together a large volume of low quality slides together
- Recently partnered with Parthenon, a growth equity firm - many employees are blinded by the realities of partnering with growth equity shops. A simple google search will show the ugly path taken to get to an exit
- Clients know that Trinity is a decidedly mid-tier consulting firm and treats project teams as such. If you're looking for real management consulting experience, go to ClearView, LEK, Putnam, or other firms that have a stronger presence in strategic advisory
- Multi-staffing system: if you enjoy feeling that you're spread thing across multiple projects, this might work for you. Leads to poor quality, often recycled, work being delivered to clients. Burnout is common since you're forced to work on multiple project and are unable to commit 100% of your time and energy to the given task at hand
- General structure: given that Trinity's primary value add is from its market research/analytics arms, the fact that >50% of its staff is in general consulting means that if you're hired as a strategy consultant, you'll spend around 75% of your time on tasks that should be handled by the understaffed research & analytics verticals. Firm is top heavy, with too many inexperienced managers and not enough junior staff to execute on the projects promised to clients
- Benefits: comp and other benefits are below market. Healthcare plan is awful, with high employee contribution expected. Vacation time is often not respected and certain managers expect you to be available on email when you are out of office on vacation
- Trinity is not willing to invest in the resources needed at a healthcare consulting firm, from access to standard academic literature, data sets, etc. Get comfortable with Google searching or finding workarounds to get access to even the most basic information
- Most of the work is boilerplate with little customization for a given project. Repeat clients will soon realize that the work outside of the interviews and surveys is largely recycled and go elsewhere
