Pros

They had great benefits in the beginning of the company start up.

Cons

They don't want you to be there longer then 10 years or so. If you are they get rid of you. So there is no opportunity for longevity with them.

Pros

I am afraid no 'pros' for this horrible place

Cons

being mislead in the interview about the nature of the job, de-motivated employees, promotions only for 'golden cuircle' employees, very male dominated management (NO female management at ALL), no pay increases, No work-life balance, work overtime for free ( you don't even get a 'thank You'), really bad atmosphere, all employees are unhappy

Pros

Excellent trainings to familiarize staff with GCP and clinical trial regulations; Managers consciously aware of employees who want to move into another role; use of SMART objectives for goals/evaluations; ability to move around in different clinical trial specialties

Cons

havent been here long enough to know many; pay scale for moving up into a different role not great; turnover seems to be an issue especially when working on multi-year studies
