Pros
People - very smart and highly motivated people. Majority are very friendly although a few might feel cold and not so friendly (every company has these types of people so it's normal) Culture - although being a mid-size and fast growing consulting company, the company has a startup culture that is supportive and cohesive. Management team is easy to access and generally opens their doors to everyone. As the company expands rapidly, especially globally, this culture might gradually diminish but the management tries hard to maintain it Training - this used to be a con, but as the company hired a new talent director and put together some robust training programs, this now becomes a pro of the company. There is still room for improvement, but it's going towards the right direction Social events - they are fun, relaxing and lavish sometimes. But depending on what type of person you are, some of the party behaviors might not make everyone happy. Work/life balance - if you know what consulting industry is like in general, you will find the work/life balance in this company is pretty good! If you want a 9-5 job, maybe consulting is not for you. Yes, you will for sure have long hours from time to time. But if you know where you limit is and say no to staffing requests when you feel overloaded, you won't be pushed to crazy as some other firms. Minimum travel is a big plus. In addition, you can always request to work from home when you're not feeling well or have other issues that prevent you from coming to work. People in the company are very understanding in general.
Cons
Compensation - it's definitely NOT bad! But it's a bit sub par compared to some competitors in the life sciences consulting industry, not to mention MBB levels. Boston office location - it's in Waltham which is quite inconvenient for a lot employees that are living within the city. Can't comment on other offices. People - well, people is a big pro as I said above. However, there are also shortcomings associate with it. The company has a tradition of hiring fresh college graduates, most of which lack a decent level of maturity and knowledge pertaining to business and biotech/biopharma industries. Actually, many of them have zero knowledge/background in these areas before they join the company. Biotech/biopharma is a highly specialized industry and a lot clients are senior biotech/biopharma gurus. I think hiring more mature, experienced life sciences consultants with a good level of understanding of the industry will make the company perform better and also look better in front of these sophisticated clients. Elitists atmosphere - to be fair, all consulting companies like hiring graduates with big brands on their foreheads such as Ivy schools. Trinity is the same. Without a famous brand on your resume, it might be hard for you to get interviews. I am from Ivy myself, but I think there are a LOT of high-caliber, maybe even more capable people who are not from Ivy leagues. I would say experience/capabilities should weigh much more than famous schools. Projects/clients - the company has tons of market research projects. There are strategy projects but not as that much as you would expect for a strategy consulting company. Also the clients tend to be more of manager/director levels, rather than C-suite. Maybe as the company grows and raises its reputation more in the field, this will change.
