Pros

Nice office, really intelligent people, interesting project work that really forces you to think outside of the box and come up with creative solutions

Cons

Management is really tough on jr team members, they're expected to be in the office very early and not to leave until very late, they are pushed incredibly hard and rewarded little

Pros

Consulting without the travel; banking without the notorious hours Diverse set of projects means you're constantly learning: different disease areas, speaking with key opinion leaders in the field, not pigeon-holed to a particular sub-specialty in healthcare (i.e. payer research, market access, medical devices) though you do have broad exposure Inter-play between the Consulting and Transaction teams means as a consultant you see how your work actually results in a deal (licensing / acquisition)- as the consulting team frequently sets up the groundwork for the deal team Close-knit team and open-office culture means it's easy to ask for help and learn from your peers, which is critical at the Analyst level. Culture is not buttoned-up or stiff, can (and should) knock on a VP's door to ask a question about how they want the deck to look. Not predicated around face time and everyone's responsible, so you stay in the office to do your work then go home Small engagement teams means you're making meaningful contributions as an Analyst and are given opportunity to chime in or answer questions even in client calls Smart, helpful, and down-to-earth colleagues

Cons

As with any client-centric shop, work can lump together around deadlines and the client can change vision or scope for the project Challenging learning curve. You'll have a call in a week with a leading clinician in the disease space. It can be tough getting up to speed, but the colleagues at Back Bay make it easy to ask questions and say, here's what I don't understand
