Pros

Good benefits and remote flexibility

Cons

Does not care about employees -- you will not be rewarded for hard work, company does not promote from within. Visit metric is 6/month, but chances are you will be doing 10-13/month.

Pros

Established company with multiple business units, many experienced medical personnel with years of research experience, average work/life balance depending on account and time of the year, mid-level managers see the needs of the clients and employees, good place for a start in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Cons

High turn-over within 2 years, few opportunities to advance without mid-level manager sponsorship, low to mid-range pay scale for industry, senior managers don't have interest in employees.

Pros

Salary was good. The most senior mgmt seem to think money will keep people despite the work environment. Training is also excellent.

Cons

Line managers across the board are terrible. There may be a few that are okay, but that is not the norm. They are negative and highly critical. Line managers should be helpful and supportive. PAREXEL management is a team of bullies. The company needs to clean house and start over.
