Pros

- Great Location to work - Exposure to significantly big pharma companies - Extremely flexible work environment. - The president and CEO is extremely passionate and hard working. You can learn a lot from him. - Great place to start a career. Go for it if you are taking up a junior positions. You will be given a lot of responsibilities.

Cons

- Extreme politics. You cannot move upwards if you cannot talk the talk and walk the walk. - The partners are not as competent as the CEO. - You are not valued by the work you do but how you keep the management happy. - There is a very big disconnect between partners and employees - The benefits and salary are not up-to NYC/NJ standards. - Reactive approach rather than a proactive approach - No significant investment in products. Put out fires for the client and you are good.

Pros

Very prosperous company and people are supportive and friendly. I like it very much

Cons

It's a private firm so procedures or work schedules may not be well found. Not necessarily has to be cons though.

Pros

1. You are the jack of all trades because you learn & do EVERYTHING! You do Management Consulting, Tech Consulting, Support, Product Management, Business Development, Sales, Account Management, Coordinator roles, Project Management! 2. You definitely go up the chain quicker as a new hire out of college. 3. You are thrown into the fire!

Cons

1. You are too busy to be a master of anything. Why? Because you have too much on your plate that you won't be able to focus on something you like. 2. As you go up the ladder, you still retain your old work. 3. People are overworked. Some project managers decide that its not worth it to invest in a QA resource or a support member on a project and instead let the analysts/consultants do the work (even when some are not even qualified). Why do they do this? Because these project managers don't want their margins to look bad. Unfortunately they are pressured to GET IT DONE (exact words of a partner) regardless of how much a project is sold. 4. There's no energy anymore. People don't go to happy hours anymore. I guess they're not happy?
