Pros

Good holiday (25 days, with options to buy 5 additional) Good pension Good benefits (private health, dental and various other offers) Ability to rise up relatively quickly through positions with hard work Pleasant colleagues, with an active company social scene

Cons

Low pay, with the gap becoming more noticeable when compared to senior roles in other companies. Internal tools which have no bearing on the wider industry as a whole, leaving you without the skills needed to move on and develop as a programmer. Infuriating quantities of paperwork and procedures (partly due to the clinical trials industry) which make the nature of the work often very repetitive and tedious.

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 )
