Pros
- Wide range of projects spanning biotech, diagnostics, med tech, digital health, and bioproduct/research tools, which I found to be unique amongst other LS boutiques - Opportunities for SAs to own workstream and manage younger analysts - Really great training program that comprehensively prepares you for a consulting career - EC consistently responds and acts on any feedback provided by employees - WLB is highly valued and partners/PL are highly attentive to consulting staff's needs to the point that I've been told to put work off until the next day so I don't stay on too late - Several avenues to provide input on your staffing preferences (post-six months at HA)
Cons
- SAs don't get as many client facing opportunities or leadership roles - Slow promotion timelines - Base comp is lower than other LS boutiques
