Recieved an offer for Leerink NY 2026 and wanted to hear some thoughts about the company. Heard a little about the sweatshop type of culture, but also heard lots of positives about where the company is trending via new hires and expanded M&A (biopharma especially).
What are general thoughts?

It’s rebuilding somewhat. Still has a lot to do before it restores it original position.

I'll be interning at Leerink this summer and would love to get some more color. Can I PM you?
Bump. Would love to hear more abt biopharma
Think leerink is known for their biopharma, probably better than going to a firm where the group is insignificant imo
congrats op! wondering if you mind sharing when you interviewed and how long did it take for them to get back to you. was it a call? thanks!
This reminded me - when I was a college sophomore, I was desperate af and applying left and right to land an internship. Got a first round (I think it was 15 mins call) with a then director who worked at Leerink. I join the zoom call, and this dude literally had his camera set up on a way so I could see him from the side. Like he is looking at his monitors and I can also see him looking at his monitors and the right side of his face. Shit threw me off so bad and it was the driest conversation of my life. I have never seen anyone do anything even similar ever and I am very sure he did intentionally.
Made me realize how miserable I might have been had I actually gotten the internship and had to work for psycho dudes like him. Be careful man.
A kid from the college I went to is at Leerink, heard that hours and culture are pretty rough.
bump - I'll be interning at Leerink as well this summer
Sweatshop. Avoid.
