Pros

Access to the entire pharma industry

Cons

Ongoing, constant pressure to deliver and recognize revenue on a monthly cycle is a major driver of internal conflicts of interest between groups/departments - internal conflicts directly lead to compromises on quality deliverables, consistent client conflicts and very poor employee morale All work, no life culture - only cares about revenue generation and cost containment - stereotypical example of private equity driven management and leadership Unethical business policies - actively blocks reimbursement of legitimate business/job related expenses onto employees to maintain margins CEO mandated bonus reduction of 30% + in most recent fiscal year - stated reason was company not meeting internal 10%+ yoy EBIDTA growth target - subsequently rewarded senior leadership with stock/option grants + cash bonuses for company meeting/exceeding revenue/growth financial objectives

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
