      Pros

      I have been very lucky with the choice of my manager. She is the nicest human being and would let me do anything I request - as long as I deliver. The company has a flexible policy, so it makes sense. I still work more than 50 hours per week, but I do it with pleasure and when I want. They have an incentive plan that used to be so much easier to get. Now it's 9 monitoring visits per month. Not happy (used to be 7). Pay is ok. Like every company, they always try to save money, but if you are a good negotiator and resources allows, you can stretch it. 3% increase based on merit every year. Not everyone gets it. You can get assigned with a lot of projects, if that is your desire, or less if you cannot manage too many. Business travel policy is very generous, if compared to another CRO I worked for.

      Cons

      I initially was assigned to a therapeutic area I was not too keen on, business needs. I eventually liked it but my end goal is to work in oncology. I will soon be hitting 1 year within the company (September), and I have requested a promotion in January (1 year and 5 months). I was told that promotions are just given in July, which I will not be happy about. So we will see.
