Pros

Pay was decent considering clinical research rates.

Cons

I worked for Javara for 1 year and while it started it off well I definitely noticed a shift the company culture, in hq as well. I was never in drama, always professional though keeping quiet allowed me to see what was going on. This company is definitely what you would call a “toxic workplace” From favoritism, discrimination, micromanagement, just about all the negative things you could of. I even had an incident with IT snapping back at me via email because they sent a wrong computer and I took “too long” to send back the old one. Management kept pushing back promotion to CTN 2 though they literally have a written plan to complete that I was overqualified for CTN1. They have wrongfully fired people and have shown signs of prejudice in the workplace because they can. And while I never cared if my manager was in office or not, management always stayed home. I say the company was suspicious because I always noticed fluctuations in my biweekly pay though I always worked the same hours and these were significant differences. They definitely have some work to do as fairly new company.

Pros

I can’t say enough about this company. It feels incredibly special to be a part of an organization with such an impactful and innovative mission. My coworkers are incredible, there are tons of opportunities for career growth and mobility, benefits/pay is far above average in the industry, and our leaders are inspirational.

Cons

With any new org or even a company breaking norms, there are bound to be growing pains. Many of the poor reviews here are from jaded former employees that were unfortunately laid off years ago… what is failed to be mentioned is that our industry as a whole suffered significantly that year and lay offs took place across most of the industry overall. Not Javara’s fault…. Other networks had to close their doors completely and often laid off exponentially more people

Pros

The healthcare benefits are fantastic, and the PTO is decent. The starting rate for a CTN is pretty great in this economy.

Cons

There is RAMPANT favoritism and almost nepotism running through the company. It started off a small company, and expanded so quickly they were scrambling for coverage so much they ended up hiring close friends. They will play favorites with these hired friends and will run everyone else into the ground. There will be a clear line between the “popular” hires and the others. The popular hires/friends will hide out in management’s office all day gossiping, while the rest see pts, process blood, run interference with the PIs, and the CRAs. Don’t look to be promoted if you’re not part of the popular crowd. They had a seminar that everyone was expected to attend talking about mental health and how we were supposed to handle the stress of work. Everything that was suggested is not feasible, but they get a pat on the back for saying “Mental Health Matters” and pretending they care.
