Employee Reviews
- “ClearView is exceptionally a great place with great people. There’s a bit of competitive culture, but that’s pretty normal when you put together the top 1 percent of smart, driven, and interesting people from the top 1 percent of colleges in the world. But we all get along well. My experience in the firm has generally been intellectually stimulating and inspiring.”
- “The best aspect of our firm’s quality of life is the community amongst the analysts and consultants. The work is challenging at times, but the support provided by peers creates an enjoyable environment.”
- “ClearView also has many social events that allow you to get to know others you have not worked with on projects, which reinforces the sense of community.”
- “Hours can be very demanding, but leadership are typically cognizant of that and work to create a good environment.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Our firm is looking for smart and motivated individuals with a background or experience in life sciences. Our interview process includes at least one case interview and at least one behavioral interview that includes a scientific discussion.”
- “The interview process for entry-level analyst and consultant roles involves [four] 30-minute interviews that [are either case, behavioral, or discussions]. That said, ClearView offers summer internships for undergraduate hires as well as a three-day immersion program for advanced degree candidates (such as PhDs and MDs) that seem to result in many full-time offers.”
- “Usually, full-time recruiting starts in late August and wraps up around late November. Our ideal candidate is intellectually curious about life science, capable of interpreting scientific knowledge, and able to communicate scientifically sophisticated concepts in understandable ways to different stakeholders.”
- “ClearView is looking for people who are passionate about the life sciences with a strong strategic mindset. You don't need to have deep experience in consulting or economics. We can train that.”
