Pros

Flexible work-from-home policy, that is all

Cons

Never in my life have I worked with a more incompetent and, quite frankly, nasty group of people. You'll be lied to during the hiring process and then be met with resistance and open hostility any time you attempt to do the job you were hired to do (because doing your job successfully could potentially hurt someone's feelings). A clueless and disrespectful executive team and a horrible HR department work together to reward incompetent managers with promotions while driving away or laying off anyone with intelligence and talent. There is no job security here where frequent layoffs are the norm. I advise anyone reading these reviews to scroll back a few pages where it's a steady stream of one negative review after another, then suddenly in September the positive five-star reviews began flooding in. These are clearly fake reviews being posted by management/HR.

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.
