Great people, uninspired work

Pros

- Great coworkers who are hard-working, talented, and easy-going - Good option if you're interested in market research - IT and HR staff are great

Cons

- Echoing previous reviews here when saying that Trinity is a market research firm, contrary to what they would like you to believe in interviews. Little to none of the work is "strategic" in nature ... even for strategy consultants who were hired for the role. A typical Trinity project involves interviewing physicians/payers or conducting a survey and summarizing findings to clients. If you're looking to get into healthcare-focused management consulting, look elsewhere. You'll spend most of your time drafting interview guides or putting together a large volume of low quality slides together - Recently partnered with Parthenon, a growth equity firm - many employees are blinded by the realities of partnering with growth equity shops. A simple google search will show the ugly path taken to get to an exit - Clients know that Trinity is a decidedly mid-tier consulting firm and treats project teams as such. If you're looking for real management consulting experience, go to ClearView, LEK, Putnam, or other firms that have a stronger presence in strategic advisory - Multi-staffing system: if you enjoy feeling that you're spread thing across multiple projects, this might work for you. Leads to poor quality, often recycled, work being delivered to clients. Burnout is common since you're forced to work on multiple project and are unable to commit 100% of your time and energy to the given task at hand - General structure: given that Trinity's primary value add is from its market research/analytics arms, the fact that >50% of its staff is in general consulting means that if you're hired as a strategy consultant, you'll spend around 75% of your time on tasks that should be handled by the understaffed research & analytics verticals. Firm is top heavy, with too many inexperienced managers and not enough junior staff to execute on the projects promised to clients - Benefits: comp and other benefits are below market. Healthcare plan is awful, with high employee contribution expected. Vacation time is often not respected and certain managers expect you to be available on email when you are out of office on vacation - Trinity is not willing to invest in the resources needed at a healthcare consulting firm, from access to standard academic literature, data sets, etc. Get comfortable with Google searching or finding workarounds to get access to even the most basic information - Most of the work is boilerplate with little customization for a given project. Repeat clients will soon realize that the work outside of the interviews and surveys is largely recycled and go elsewhere

Pros

Managers truly care about staff's personal interests and professional growth Hard work is often recognized Management and leadership teams value associate-level employees (often encouraging us to play an active role in internal and external meetings, attributing credit to the whole team, the list goes on) Trinity has a fun work environment - coworkers often become friends The people here are incredible and have a real team mentality We are encouraged by management and leadership to pursue innovative ideas Leadership team is transparent! We have company wide meetings every other week and larger company updates quarterly, we really are united

Cons

Hours fluctuate (meaning there are some late nights) Because we're growing, we don't always have the chance to work with everyone across the company

Pros

There are a lot of excellent people at Trinity: sharp, easy to get along with, great to work with. You can always experiment and try something new. Innovative ideas are encouraged and welcomed.

Cons

Unfortunately, I have also witnessed and been on the receiving end of a lot of very unprofessional and sometimes flat-out obscene conduct from Trinity colleagues. The company recruits a lot of recent grads from Ivy League schools. So you get a bunch of young kids, some of whom are understandably quite immature, you throw extravagant parties with overnight stays and unlimited amount of alcohol, and perhaps unsurprisingly what you get… is a certain kind of show. The worst part is management is actively encouraging bad behavior at these types of social events. Oftentimes, management is instigating and participating in drunken shenanigans. On top of your actual work performance, promotions and getting interesting project work are also quite dependent on how others perceive you and your “coolness” factor/popularity. Going out drinking and socializing with other Trinity employees is almost a requirement. Favoritism and elitism are well entrenched. If I were to sum up the company culture briefly, it would be with a tired expression of “Work hard, play hard.” Work hard is self-explanatory. People at Trinity work really hard. The “play hard” part is completely out of hand, in my opinion. Management probably knows this, HR definitely knows this (HR is completely powerless to do anything), but there is no interest or willingness to change. Self-congratulatory platitudes and bold assertions at Trinity’s value-add as a consulting firm are never ending. Obviously people should get credit, feel good about their accomplishments and genuinely pat each other on the back for the work well done and well received, but pretending we are somehow saving lives by creating a forecasting model for a drug launch is a bit much, no? The weird part is that it is not at all pretending. Trinity hardliners truly seem to believe in all that.
