Pros
Supportive, team-oriented culture Laid-back work environment conducive to developing new ideas Talented, dedicated co-workers Positive client relationships Large, essentially managerial level of responsibility for a consultant Wonderful to be immersed in a community of so much pharma sales and marketing expertise Good compensation Solid competency model for career development
Cons
Poor work-life balance; very long nights, vacations are not vacations Insufficient manpower; people have been stretched thin for a while with some employees stepping up better than others Heavier focus on operational than strategic projects reduces intellectual stimulation Compensation structure does not sufficiently reward higher performers Multi-project, multi-manager staffing model creates confusion and high stress at times; this may not be the best model to guarantee the highest quality (which is part of our value prop) Multi-client model may create awkward situations when the client thinks you're dedicated to them but you have 2 other client engagements to juggle
