None of these shops have reputation outside of pharma, if anything someone may have heard of ZS just because they are larger. Inside the industry, perception is that CV / Putnam do more strategy work and ZS is more commercial ops / launch planning

All very similar and are essentially direct competitors. Would decide based on your perception during the interview and compensation

People will argue and say one is better than the other but in terms of reputation they are all very similar. What’s more important is how well you do the job, what you learn and how you move up the ladder

Thanks LSS1! did a quick search on LinkedIn and I see that ZS places into big tech, MBB and M7 b-schools much better than the other 2 firms

Not sure if this is just a function of ZS being larger or if they are actually viewed more favourable outside healthcare.

I think that is a function of its size. ZS has over 13K employees as per LinkedIn, whereas the others have a couple hundred

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
