Overall Excellent Company

Anonymous employee

Pros

Perhaps the best clinical trial software vendor in the industry. Excellent people that are always looking to improve the company and the products. Well positioned for growth and to provide "platform as a service" to the industry. Great opportunity to perform good work with good people. Compensation is fair, and benefits are very good. Company performs an annual survey of employees and openly shares the results with the whole company. Actions are taken to address issues.

Cons

Departments and functions are too siloed. Often need to go up to the VP level to connect groups and teams. This leads to missed opportunities. The company is aware of this problem and is taking steps to work on this issue.

Business Outlook

Pros

I work in the Technology team and have seen a huge difference in the past year with new Tech leadership. It's always been a great company doing great things for the world, and now it's even more wonderful to work in.

Cons

Customers love us so much; demands are high on our team and can sometimes be too challenging. No standardized technology - it varies across products Work environment could be loud.
