Pros

company provides great career growth opportunities, training, and flexibility with schedules. Also, working from home is very comment at PAREXEL.

Cons

The pay is lower in CROs than in the rest of industry. This is the only con I've noticed so far.

Pros

None as this department was poorly managed and overly complex in structure.

Cons

This department is run by people who don't know how to manage. The idea of globalizing the department was usurped by the need for the department to be run out of the Berlin based office. No matter how hard you work to meet work demands and please the client you are not considered good enough to work for this team outside of Europe. Their expectations were for the team to be paperwork pushers while they were "managing" everything. Very hostile work environment.
