Pros

Interesting work that focuses on the intersection of public health and business. Diverse portfolio of clients and opportunities to work across business areas. Friendly, collaborative working environment.

Cons

Very low pay when compared with other strategy consulting firms working in this industry. Huge pay gap between senior management and junior staff - senior management are paid at the level expected for consulting firms but junior staff are compensated more at the level of the PR industry, even though many have Masters degrees from top colleges. Promotions are rare and based exclusively on service to the company, rather than merit or competency. Few professional development opportunities are available - although efforts were made to identify opportunities for growth, there is no coordinated professional development or training program for employees. There is very little oversight from HR of these policies. Senior management tend to be very closed off from the rest of the staff, making decisions that are rarely transparent. Managers were often very protective over their direct reports and their time, leading to teams working in silos and not promoting effective collaboration across work streams and projects. Managers not able to identify the strengths and skills of employees and to deploy these to serve clients.
