Pros
- Opportunity to work closely with very senior clients on exciting projects addressing major strategic issues - Broad spectrum of strategic projects across R&D and commercial functions gives great exposure to different areas of the pharma and biotech industry - Challenging and fast paced work without the long hours that are so common in consulting; the wellbeing of employees is a priority - High levels of responsibility including interactions with clients even at a junior level, due to the small size of the team and the collaborative approach to projects - Opportunity for international travel for important client meetings and events - Extremely approachable partners who really care about their people inside and outside of work - Partners seek the input of the rest of the team to collaboratively shape the company direction and priorities; regular team offsites ensure our views are heard - Good balance of office working and working from home: minimum of 3 days per week in the office creates a sociable and supportive team environment, and option to work from home the rest of the week gives great flexibility - The company is generous and happy to invest in their employees. This includes learning and development opportunities as well as organised company events
Kontras
- Small team size means you often don't have much control over which projects you are assigned to work on - Less structured or formal training compared to larger firms - mostly 'on-the-job' learning coupled with ad-hoc external courses which the company is happy to fund
