Putnam is a healthcare consulting company. Most healthcare consultant firms just crunch numbers all day and adjust sales force alignments. On the other hand, we do amazing and fun stuff! We interview clients, analyze data, and make strategic recommendations for our clients that add value to the business. I love my work because I work on high level strategy rather than sit around all day and crunch numbers.

Like any Analyst position at any consulting firm, you will be doing a lot of quantitative work. You will be building financial models and analyzing data taken from surveys. This work requires attention to detail and staying very organized. Unlike most consulting firms, we are able to get involved with high-level recommendations for the client. When you demonstrate your value and are able to offer recommendations for the client, you will get promoted for your abilities.

Work is always stimulating, never repetitive, and I learn so much from doing it. Each person on the team is accountable and responsible for their own work, making the entire experience very rewarding. You have the ability (even as a young analyst) to make recommendations for clients and be a part of the high-level strategy.
