Pros

I have worked at Best Practices, LLC for several years and have had a very positive experience. Working at Best Practices provides tremendous exposure to business research, management consulting, marketing, sales, and client relations - all with some of the largest and fastest growing healthcare and pharmaceutical companies in the world. Though challenging, this is definitely a job where younger associates can step in, learn the ropes, and thrive. Work hour expectations are quite reasonable, and management is often flexible in accommodating different employees and their life/work situations. Benefits and 401K are decent. Lots of great people as colleagues, with fun and collegial atmosphere. CEO is a dedicated and fair boss. Overall, a great place for someone to gain lots of experience in many different business areas. Self-starters and driven professionals will do very well.

Cons

The company uses a matrix job structure for some roles, which requires you to be disciplined in order to prioritize your time and effort. The company also specializes in the commercial side of the healthcare industry. Some may find it initially challenging to understand and work in this complex space, but there is a lot of support from more experienced staff.

Thanks for your reflections as a veteran consultant in our company. We will keep working hard to fine-tune our cross-functional, matrix structure of teams and functions. I know it can at times be challenging. I appreciate your guidance on stretch goals sometimes seeming too ambitious! We'll continue working to balance "Stretch" -- that drives growth just like in exercise -- with realism -- so we don't make every objective a moonshot. Thanks for your contributions. Keep up the good work! -- CEO of Best Practices, LLC

Pros

Nice team! Very smart and helpful CEO supported by a friendly and excellent team of researchers. Clients find significant value in various benchmark research offerings that inform Launch Excellence Strategy, Resourcing, Staffing, Planning, Engagement, and Measurement across both Commercial and Medical Affairs functional areas.

Cons

Dated CRM is challenging for effective outreach campaign deployment and follow up. Multiple sellers calling on same clients can create confusion and distraction, both internally and with clients.
