Pros

Perceptive Informatics has a good benefits package, friendly employees and is a relaxed place to work. You can normally get time off at short notice.

Cons

Increasingly there is a reliance on paid overtime to complete projects rather than hiring and training enough employees. Too much reliance on outsourcing with some outsourced staff barely able to speak English

Pros

They have a formal work at home policy that allows you to work from home at almost anytime for many of the jobs.

Cons

The company is part of PAREXEL which is a CRO.Most large CRO's are known for long hours and poor senior management. It is a very hierarchical and bureaucratic organization. It's a good place to train for your next job.

Pros

Better than average pay scale. Good mid level management. Very flexible timings. Option of working from home.

Cons

The work here requires long working hours. It being in a service industry results in a high pressure work environment. Not very technically sophisticated. People are very resistive to change.
