Pros

-Smart, competent colleagues -Interesting projects & clients -Good training for entry-level consultants -Good exposure to how pharma/life science companies operate

Cons

Difficult to set boundaries while working from home & often felt overworked/burnt out. Mentors explained that the multiple busy weeks + Saturdays of working in a row were just part of the ebb & flow of the job, but I always felt like they could have been eased had the company just hired more people to do the work. If you are someone who thrives on being a workaholic, you would probably like it.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
