Life with UC
UC helps our employees balance a rewarding consulting career with life outside of work. Our policies are designed to encourage a flexible working environment. UC is extremely selective and specifically looks for people who relentlessly want to learn new things and have a high degree of empathy and compatibility with Our Values (i.e. being Reliable, Responsive, Rigorous and Resilient). Each candidate goes through in-depth interviews and case study sessions. Only 1 out of every 50 candidates who apply to UC, is selected to join our Team. The experience you’ll gain during your career is unparalleled. You’ll help build the foundation for businesses that will help you grow at our firm and beyond.
UC provides a unique opportunity to acquire extensive and practical understanding of diverse industry from world-class internal and external experts. The strategic nature of our work allows our team members to have an outsized impact on decisions that shape the future of industry. The team-based approach lets you work side by side with other team members and helps you to know and appreciate every other team member’s strengths and skills.
UC has a Hybrid working policy and will continue to operate this way in the future. We intend to permanently work in the “Cloud”. Sometime we will do face-to-face meetings with Clients and with people in the Firm.
Through StratLancer (www.stratlancer.com), the team also includes a worldwide network of more than 135 life-sciences independent consultants and experts. All have a proven record and typically more than 10 years of experience in the industry. Each of Strat Lancer’s Consultants is individually vetted to ensure they have significant consulting experience – either from the world’s leading consulting firms or within the corporate Strategy function of large companies.
