Pros

Hire smart people Provide flexibility to stay at hotels Learn a lot in a shot period of time

Cons

The management on the On site Lawrenceville pharma client team is terrible, probably an understatement of an adjective They treat you like their servants and speak down to you They gossip about co workers to everyone They have a turn over of 6 months max a consultant It’s the epitome of the mean girls movie and honestly not worth it Work like horse of 120+ hours with zero appreciation from anyone.. not a single thank you ever They are miserable and make everyone else’s life miserable as well
