A good place to be for pharma consulting

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

IMS is one of the biggest players in pharmaceutical consulting, and has been great career started for me. You get exposure to some the biggest companies and get to work with some very experienced consultants.

Cons

IMS has had poor results with cross-practice projects and collaboration, especially within consulting. What this means for a recent college graduate is that your experiences will be limited to within your practice. Make sure you like what you're signing up for.

Cumbersome, inefficient, bureaucratic dinosaur.

Business Outlook

Pros

The severance package is nice - wish I'd get one. I really can't think of much that's positive about this company right now.

Cons

No one is empowered so nothing different is ever done. The company has enough money they can get away with being inefficient and introducing so many processes that nothing happens. Or, ever implementation costs a fortune. Total focus on top line revenue - no one even knows what anything actually costs. to produce. Wasteful of resources and money. Filled with people who've worked there 10 - 20 - 30 years and can't imagine doing anything differently than they always have.

Good start to career - plenty of client exposure

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of client exposure Opportunity to present to client with 6 months of employment - clients are global brand directors and senior managers in top pharma companies Good middle managers. Lower ranks full of oxbridge / Ivy league types who are all sound people.

Cons

Worst salary in management consulting industry (in the world). No one knows where what IMS does outside of Pharma / health care. Difficult to be proud of where you work when no one knows what you do.
