Pluspunten

Adelphi Values will accept literally any project, so there's a good chance you'll gain a broad experience of different types of market access work. They also tend to hire bright people, and the people there are amongst the most pleasant I've worked with. Unfortunately, as far as the positive aspects go, that is it.

Minpunten

Please bear in mind that I have done my best to review the company as honestly and fairly as possible in accordance with the Glassdoor community guidelines. This review may come across as vitriolic, but it is an honest representation of my experience there. - Contracts and proposals are aggressively pursued with seemingly no consideration given to whether the project can actually be completed or not. - Extremely rapid attrition rate leads to people who are inexperienced ending up in senior roles and quickly burning out in a 'meat grinder of incompetence'. - Overbearing, micromanagement-prone upper management, who simultaneously somehow manage to be incredibly detached despite their constant involvement in projects. - Prone to hiring people with niche, specific roles as a 'trophy' of sorts, then regularly having them do work outside of their area of expertise- e.g. health economists often end up doing menial data entry tasks or medical writing. - Poor work-life balance combined with a toxic office culture where it's insisted that you don't work late, but you realistically have to if you hope to get enough work done. - Bad location unless you live in Cheshire (be warned, recruiters often advertise the company as being in South Manchester when it's actually 22 miles away from the city). - Long probation periods for new hires. - Poor salaries across the board. - MD has fabricated reasons for employees leaving, making it appear as though said employees were driven out as a result of their poor performance, when in reality they left of their own volition. I hope that this review is useful to prospective employees, and that they think carefully before accepting an offer.

Pluspunten

Relatively open communication channels with directors. Lateral structure that allows for connecting with the whole team.

Minpunten

Management decisions from an Omnicom and Adelphi Group level have stripped the company of anything once found positive. The team was assured of no layoffs during a merge, and then the first group to successfully merge were laid off. Deferred compensation was not awarded and we were not told ahead of time. 5 days of PTO were taken back. Promotions and annual raises delayed by months, often with no back pay. The team is spread incredibly thin, having lost around a third of the staff over the last two years with no approval to hire. This leads to no time to drive internal initiatives towards personal development. The US team now uses researchers and managers from the UK office, which leads to resourcing and communication challenges. The company culture that made it worth staying through low pay by industry standards hasn’t been able to withstand this. The office lease hasn’t been renewed and the team is worn down across the board. I don’t know if I see AV PCO US standing in 3 years unless something drastic happens. The Adelphi Group seems to be struggling financially, but communication from group-level management is either non-existent, opaque, or seemingly false. Compensation across the board has tanked due to decisions from group and Omnicom: 401k match is almost nonexistent, 5 days of PTO have been rolled back, PTO maximum cap has been reduced, deferred compensation not awarded, annual raises (3% at the max) delayed or not given.
