Good career options due to rapid growth. Great staff, with strong collaboration across departments. Innovative environment which allows space to test new ideas.

Frequent new initiatives are rolled out by senior management too quickly, before the previous idea has time to get established.

Left to one's own devices, lack of support from management

Pros

Large International CRO, well-known, big pharma clients

Cons

They leave individuals the task of dealing with clients directly and completing the projects they are assigned, without enough support from the company. You can sit at the same level forever so long as you are fulfilling your function - the departments are big and individuals don't matter.
