A few more small firms that come to mind: Putnam Associates, Artisan Consulting, Back Bay Life Science Advisors, Lifescience Dynamics, Alacrita Consulting, Health Advances, Alira Health

Is there anything in particular you want to know?

Would love to get more insights on Alira

Clearview Putnam and Huron have been covered in other posts in this bowl!

ClearView is a rapidly growing firm (always a good problem in my opinion), has a great rep with clients, great Vault ranking, solid exits into strategy or BD roles in pharma/biotech, but work life balance is definitely going to be challenging there. A lot is demanded of everyone at every level with short timelines and lean teams. If you want to work hard and grow your career I'd recommend it, but if you're looking for somewhere to park yourself for a few years it's probably ill advised.

Clearview is a mess these days

https://joinfishbowl.com/post_427ey

Clear view does a good job of promoting itself on forums and on campuses:

However, when pitching for work of any significance, they’re nowhere to be found.

And a quick stroll on LinkedIn should demystify the exit options...

Charles river has good wlb (leave at 6-7pm) and no travel model, idk about reputation

What are thoughts on Trinity? I've always put them in the same bucket as Clearview and Putnam but hear less about them on here

Lol non competes are mostly non-enforceable these days (depending of course on all the specifics). So that’s ridiculous
