Pros

You're not alone on your thoughts and feelings about the company. 1 star because management provide free food and drink at Christmas and summer party.

Cons

- No work life balance. - Management do not listen or consider new ideas, nor give any recognition. - No sense of team. Antagonistic relationship between departments. Managers do not help this and in fact facilitate it. - No career development, and with no direction you can feel very much lost in such a large company. - Too many layers of management with too little actual managing. - Poor provision of training to suit different levels. Managers do not tailor training requirements for individual needs. - Management make no effort to retain talent.

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 )
