Pros

Flexible working arrangements, depending on manager. Large company that weathered the recession well and most positions are stable. (Project Management is not - high turnover)

Cons

Highly bureaucratic with poor communications. Very little opportunity for growth, tendency to hire in managers rather than promote. Management structure is vertical.

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.
