Pros

Flexible starting time, however with the large hours you will be working the only way you can take advantage of this will be to work until 10pm that evening

Cons

Overworked, top heavy management structure, constant changing of goal posts / timelines by project leads that is always left to associates to sort out (and along with it the stress), very low end of pay compared to all other CROs, work here as a last resort

Great people and infrastructure but upper management is in a world all it's own

Pros

Highly motivated, dedicated and trained employee pool where teams really do work together to deliver. If you produce you can negotiate a positive situation for yourself. Hard work=Good rewards.

Cons

Overworked, under-resourced and top heavy so much so that eventually the hard work will no longer equate to good rewards as it will burn you out.

Pros

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The benefits, including vacation time was great!

Cons

Expect to work a lot of overtime. Depending on your level, some will be paid. The rest unpaid.
