Pros

- high salary, good exposure to various clinical trial designs and therapeutic areas

Cons

- Blame culture - managers blow minor errors way out of proportion during performance reviews. Performance reviews are based on comments from other co-workers. The culture is so filled with fears co-workers are quick to find faults in others to make themselves look relatively better.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
