Pros

If you have no soul you can make big money

Cons

I am not going to put anything specific in here that hasn't already been said by the other reviewers except to say that the positive reviews are too perfect not to have been written by the employers themselves. Note that they are recruiters and are hyper aware of the power of sites like glassdoor for them (or Yelp if you were a restaurant). Do yourself a favor before working here as an employee or working with them as a client. Do 4 random backdoor references on them. Contact 4 internal recruiters at local biotech or pharma companies in the area at random. Contact as many as you can until you get 4 of them (former employees would be good to call too - look them up on linkedin) to call you back. Tell them you are considering working for these guys or considering working with them (as a client) and see what they say. You don't need to take my word for anything bad. I promise you that you'll be running for the hills after doing these backdoor checks. If you are a good recruiter (or are embarking on a career like this) it's what you should be doing. As one of the previous reviewers said, it's the power of reputation and network. The Strat partners haven't learned this lesson. Start backdoor checking them and you'll find out quick about them and run the other way. To be fair I'm giving them a fair rating on stars below. Unfortunately there is nothing lower than 1 for Senior Management and Culture and Values.

I wish working here had been a more positive experience for you, and that you had brought your concerns to us directly. We don’t put anything false on here. The vast majority here are proud of our culture and values, and actively recruit people into their teams. We are celebrating the ten year anniversary for one employee in October, and another in June. Excluding Principals and those here under twelve months, we have an average tenure of over five years. With this retention rate, we are not surprised by positive reviews. On random checking our culture and values: We agree 100%. We create and maintain healthy relationships that will speak for us. And over 15 years, we’ve made a huge impact with the help of great friends whether they are Current and Former Employees, Clients or Candidates. Considering our growth comes mainly by referral, we encourage everyone to seek inside and outside opinions. We've always said we are not perfect, so if someone looks hard enough, they will find some who disagree. Our ethics are among the highest in the industry. I found a quote summing up why I believe most love it here: "While business is a game of numbers, real achievement is measured in infinite emotional wealths: friendship, usefulness, helping, learning, or said another way, the one who dies with the most joys wins." -Dale Dauten. When we say we are doing well, this is what we are talking about. We got into Biotech to make a difference and we do so every day as we serve our clients and candidates. As with everyone who works here, we want it to be a very positive experience and wish it had been a better fit for you.
