Pros
I've been at Trinity for a number of years now, and as some one who was uncertain with the direction my career would take out of undergrad, Trinity was the perfect place for me to carve my own path forward and develop skills which I take with me in any future endeavor. I had no idea what I wanted to do after college, but I was a biology major (had toyed with the idea of medical school), and I was fascinated by the healthcare industry. At Trinity, I have been able to learn more about the industry, dive deep and explore various therapeutic areas, and help clients answer a variety of business questions on a daily basis. Working on multiple projects ensured that I never got bored in the monotony of day-to-day work, and I was always learning, always bettering myself. In your first years at Trinity, you're always growing; if I took a snapshot of each year I've been at Trinity, each picture would look very different, in terms of the people I was working with, the types of clients/projects I was working on, and the role I was playing on those projects. This trend continues even today, and I've always had new goals that I can identify and work toward. It wouldn't be an honest review if I also couldn't say something about the people who work at Trinity. Undoubtedly, so many of my closest friendships and travel partners have been people with whom I work, and I honestly look forward to getting to spend time with co-workers, both during the work week and after hours. Working the hours you'd expect as a Consultant, so much of the experience comes down to the people you're surrounded with, and this is something in which Trinity truly excels- looking for people who not only contribute to the work product we offer our clients, but who adds to the firm's culture and will be a welcome addition to the Trinity community.
Cons
The firm has more than doubled in size since I joined, and as such, has been going through typical growing pains that you'd expect: how to maintain culture within a growing company, how to integrate people from diverse academic and professional backgrounds into the company and set them up for success, and how to grow the company strategically to ensure that company success doesn't come at the cost of its own people. While there have been ups and downs throughout this process, I've seen company leadership increase transparency into our business outlook and plans, foster a dialogue to ensure PhD new hires have their backgrounds leveraged in ongoing project work, and adapt hiring practices to be more fluid with the company's business needs. More than anything, I've seen them seek out feedback and input from individuals across all levels to learn how they can do better and develop an environment which will sustain as the company continues to grow. Also, this is consulting, so hours and work weeks can be long, particularly in busy times of they year, but this isn't out of line with what any of my friends in other large consulting firms (e.g., "big three") experience.
