Great mix of different projects with excellent office culture and people
Pros
1. Variety in projects keeps it dynamic and challenging: Each project is different and you get the opportunity to work in more than one disease area, including rare diseases. As you get more experienced, you are given the chance to work on more complex projects providing continual growth and challenges without boredom 2. Fellow C1ers are super awesome: The folks working at C1 are very helpful (especially when you are new and learning about the various processes), have a strong work ethic and are great team players 3. Flat structure and well-designed feedback system: Upper management are more than willing to help with different aspects of the project and are continually working to incorporate feedback and improve the C1 experience 4. Perks: Free snacks/beverages, work from home Fridays, pretty frequent free lunches, end of project celebrations, random C1 holidays (got 2 in 2015), Wii nights, karaoke nights
Cons
Work load during certain times of the year can be pretty heavy leading to over 60 hour weeks. However, since I have joined, several mechanisms have been put into motion to help monitor weekly hours and staffing on projects
