      A good place to start your pharma career

      Pros

      Superb place to start in the pharma industry as there are lots of highly competent and knowledgeable people from who you can learn alot from. What you learn at PAREXEL will make you very valuable at pharma and biotech companies, especially locally.

      Cons

      There is alot of turnover because clients are always cherry-picking staff. There are also alot of "silos" so departments aren't always working together but often they compete against each other instead.

      It used to be a good place to start out. Not the type of place to stay.

      Pros

      Good benefits package. Flex Time. Great people.

      Cons

      Low pay. Layoffs recently coinciding with outsourcing of work to India has created very low morale. Technical problems creating difficulties sending work to India has created stress among the remaining employees who are trying to do a workload of more people than are left in the US office. Potential for growth is severely hindered, not only because of the economy, but because they kept hiring in India. I don't forsee having a job in a year if I were to stay. I don't appreciate having to come in at 7am in the morning to train India, and then being expected to stay beyond 8 hours to be available until 5pm on the same day.

      Pros

      Management is great. It's like a family. They understand family issues and are very accomodating when their employees are in need of assistance - both in and out of work. The company has good training and encourages continuing education regularly.

      Cons

      The pay could be better, but this is the cost of having been given the opportunity to enter the clinical trial industry. Promotional opportunities are usually good, but the company is affected in economic downturns. They do their best when promotional opportunities are not feasible due to financial concerns and make it a point to continually stay in contact with their employees about the company's status.
