Pros

Industry leader in many of the fields where it offers services. Many of the software tools are very sophisticated and offer multiple capabilities that competitors may find difficult to match or exceed.

Cons

Company striving to lower the cost of delivering services through offshore sourcing of IT. Much software development in done in Citrix. The time frames for project delivery are often quite tight, and that makes it difficult to deliver with any sense of craft as completing all of the delverables in the given time frame is often a challenge. The software environment is not one that entails a great deal of bespoke coding, as opposed to the use of pre-built standard software modules.

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 )
