flexible working hours which most CROs have

sparse communication that tends to be one-way standards for performance evaluation, salary increase and promotion not often objective poor resource management leading to quick burnout of employees workload does not allow any personal time for life no overtime pay but workload forces employees to work even on weekends

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )
