Great place to learn healthcare strategy - Analyst Fletcher Spaght Employee Review

Really smart coworkers and fascinating cases. Cases are diverse in subject matter across healthcare, types of clients (start-ups, market leaders, investors), and types of casework (voice of customer, strategic planning, financial modeling, go to market strategy). Organization is flat, and the partners are dedicated to mentoring and coaching consulting staff. Great place for someone in STEM who wants to learn business strategy. Significant autonomy and room to grow if you are intentional about development.

Although work life balance is generally better than the big consulting companies (typically 40-45 hrs per week), there are periods when it flexes to 50 or 55+ per week for a few consecutive weeks at a time.

Work-life balance is especially good most of the time. Company is a great place for recent graduates with no business experience to learn about the healthcare / high-tech venture capital industry. There are ample opportunities to learn about life science / high tech consulting and venture capital. Firm is generally a friendly, non-competitive environment.

Salaries will lag competitors. Small company and with few resources to obtain information and other commercially available reports. Management tends to be "penny-wise, but pound foolish". Workload is not evenly divided among employees, so management will overburden productive employees, underburden those who are less productive, creating a disincentive to be efficient, hard-working. Firm needs to fill out the middle tier positions. Firm currently has plenty of top-tier and low tier positions filled, but the middle tier is lacking. The firm's high tech practice has become downsized, due to lower volume of work. Management has never communicated the company's changing focus to employees. However, if you paid attention to the many clues around you, you would not be in the dark.
