      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Fair wages most of the time -Able to speak your mind -Some Line Managers are very good

      Cons

      -IT is terrible -Intranet is terrible -New LMS is terrible -Too many systems that are constantly being updated, added, or removed -Majority of COLs really do not know what they are doing -New CRAs are not being fully trained before they are asked to start conducting visits -CRA metrics are based on 3 remote visits is equal to 1 day on-site, which is unfair considering each remote visit has a report and there is always more prep and follow-up involved -HR is terrible and does not respond most of the time -Insurance premiums, copays, and out of pocket max greatly increased in 2022 -High turnover of staff -PTO was changed to RTO in 2022 and remaining PTO from 2021 was not paid out to employees. -Benefits are not that great

      does not recommend. chaotic at best

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      pay is very competitive and flexible work schedule

      Cons

      observations and experiences have been: 1) lack of enough resourcing as too many projects are accepted at the expense of the employee (for profit of course) work life balance and leadership is sub optimal 2) decentralized company chooses to put people in a study team cross culture time zone with no regard for team cohesiveness or forethought it's just a body in a spot. 3) often times teams are comprised of inexperienced staff members in countries where labor is cheap and ​communication​ is poor. Leadership at study team level does not understand challenges on their projects as they are chosen based on pure availability and ther experience, probably because attrition is an issue

      Remote Position in the Consulting/Regulatory Submission Group

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working from home worked for me. Ability to travel without taking as much time off. Not enough projects to keep me fully utilized. At the end of my time there, we were just starting to have more communication, support and cohesion amongst the entire submissions group team.

      Cons

      Constantly changing management and reorganization. Not enough projects to keep me fully utilized which then impacts the possibility of a bonus. High turnover in other groups which impacts business continuity especially when its the finance and invoicing group. Increasing off shore resources and challenges working with them including time difference and language understanding. I was laid off due to business restructuring.
