Fine -- if CRO's are what you want to do for a career. If you want to use original thought or creativity, avoid this. - Research Associate Parexel Employee Review

Pros

-flexible work-schedule (esp. if per-diem). work stays at work -decent starting pay for the difficulty of the work (17/hr). good pay differentials for evenings and holidays. - some people are decent (co-workers and participants alike)

Cons

- this place becomes small so quickly -- I personally see so little room for growth. unless you've dreamt of becoming a data manager, or someone who micromanages other- this whole place really isn't that gratifying. - THIS IS THE JOB: you do procedures that are assigned to you (mainly taking blood pressures and ECG's), YOU DON'T THINK AT ALL! you simply follow procedures. you don't ask questions, you just do as your told - wait for 8hrs to be over by meandering around a far too small break room, and repeat indefinitely (while trying to keep vestiges of any enthusiasm or soul).

Pros

full service CRO, lots of capabilities and resources for global studies. good at linking up resources/talent to study needs. very inclusive and good at recognizing talent. people are seen and best contributors are usually taken care of.

Cons

lots of changes being rolled out with limited transparency. contracting can be challenging. site payments and study closeout are areas that need improvement.
