Pros

Projects are interesting Dealing with people in over 54 countries is very interesting Company is involved in cutting edge clinical research Pay is around industry average A lot of room for horizontal movement and promotions

Cons

Management expectations of hard working employees is too high. Low performers are allowed to stay low at the expense of the good workers Workload is intense and does not allow for work-life balance. Burn-out is frequent. Working 60 hours a week is not uncommon Some senior managers are borderline abusive in their language towards their employees

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.
