Pros
Solid base of subject matter experts supporting departments, management seeks feedback from employees on process improvement routinely, and implementation of system and technological enhancements. In clinical operations, working for a CRO affords the opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of therapeutic areas.
Cons
There are challenges inherent to working in a contract research environment. Project teams may be comprised of departments from sponsor, CRO, and other vendors and vendors may be managed and chosen by sponsors. Additionally, desire to specialize in a particular therapeutic area may be limited, dependent upon project needs and timing.
