A great place to work and grow professionally, a personal touch by management to each individual gives comfort and confidence. Seniors nourish and help one to evolve in a structured way. Great learning opportunities in terms of analytics and consulting in pharmaceutical domain.

Dislikes

Nothing as such. Since Viscadia is focused on forecasting and leverages limited tech-stack, one might feel a little meagre.

Dislikes

1) Work life balance at Viscadia has it's own periods of peaks and troughs, such is the nature of consulting, but it is a lot better than other consulting firms

I like the highly collaborative team culture. Practice of whiteboarding, brainstorms and solving problems by first principles ensures you get a deep understanding of the business problem at hand. Managers are invested in the personal development of every person joining the team. The work itself involves a lot of complex problem solving. It also provides the opportunity to work directly with commercial leaders of pharmaceutical companies and in the process build a holistic understanding of client's business....Read More

Could have more formal trainings, workshops and conferences.

Work Details

On a day to day basis I am responsible for managing 5-8 people across 2-3 client engagements, which involves providing ongoing strategic and analytics consulting support to senior client stakeholders.

Direct engagement with clients right off the bat, being involved in multiple decisions directly affecting client's strategies is something that happens in almost all projects. Work life balance is better than most boutique's out there. The ability to bring change in a way you like, which resonates with management/ leadership is possible given small nature of the company.

Dislikes

Not many to be honest. Processes can be improved a bit further (which can be said for any boutique consulting firm), although Viscadia has come a long way already, and continue to work towards building adequate training and learning programs, and HR/ accounting processes.

Viscadia is a biotech/pharma forecasting company. Very interesting work as it is strategic in nature. You get the opportunity from the beginning to interact with clients (mainly C-suite). You have visibility from end-to-end work. Lots of lea

Very elementary overview of pharma forecasting

Dislikes

There are a lot of points that would come here: 1) It is nothing like a company, with absolutely no system of tracking projects, appraising or reviewing people. 2) There are a bunch of "favorites" who consider the place like their fiefdom. They demean the other people, pass oblique references and downright humiliate them 3) There isabsolutely no substantial value add in terms of skills or pharma domain expertise here. Most of the "forecasting projects" have no statistical or business basis to them, secondary research is the only tool they have. Even when primary surveys etc are done, they are clueless about how to interpret the results 4) The CEO has been taken for a ride and it continues to be so. He does not even visit the office whenever he makes a visit to India and just relies on the information which is fed to him by the "favorites" 5) Favorites have a flexible policy for everything. They can decide their leaves, office timings and even salary and no one can question them 6) As specified before, they are losing clients due to poor knowledge of forecasting and hence there are prolonged bench periods In short, please DO NOT JOIN THIS PLACE. wait patiently for a proper company to offer you a job...Read More

Most of the times there is no work and more than work, the "favorites" just demean and humiliate people
