Pros

1) Maybe a small company culture 2) Basic overview of pharma forecasting

Cons

I hope I don't miss out any since this section is going to be lenghty: 1) 7 people sitting in a room does not make a "company". There is absolutely no system of tracking people, projects or appraising people here. Everything is done randomly 2) There is a clique of 3-4 older employees (in terms of tenure in the company) who are only there to protect their turf and can be nasty with anyone who challenges them 3) Humiliation of the newer people is a regular phenomenon here. Oblique references, demeaning jokes are the order of the day 4) The "older folks" have decided to take the CEO for a ride and the CEO also does not care to even visit the office whenever he visits India (does it quarterly). 2 people are the eyes and ears of the CEO 5) Number of projects are quite less and they show fake expertise to the clients and end up making a mockery in front of the client 6) Attrition is super high. There has to be a reason as to why the headcount in India could not even reach 10 even after 8 years since the company started operations in India 9) Jokers are touted as "leaders" here and find a place in the "Leadership" section of the company. Please do visit to have a good laugh 10) The "older folks" have much higher salaries than the other guys even at same or even lower designations 11) In short, please do not join this company even if you are unemployed, wait for a proper company to offer you a job

Pros

1) Best team and people I've got a chance to work with, they help you in growing with the company 2) Since Viscadia is a boutique consulting firm, it helps you in getting a good understanding of the whole project from tip to toe. 3) Exposure to different therapeutic areas and their nuances by working on a variety of pharma forecast models. 4) Good work-life balance, flexible working hours. 5) Company works with an employee-first approach with a good balance of not deprioritizing client work as well, unlike other consulting firms where a client-first approach is strictly followed.

Cons

1) Since the company works in a small team setting so no organized skill enhancement sessions are in place. Thus, an individual needs to be self-motivated to learn new skills/tools. 2) One may experience slight ups and downs in the workload, but it boils down to an individual's preference how he/she wants to utilize the downtime. 3) Lesser opportunities to be in a client facing role as compared with other firms where you may face the client from Day 1.
