Pros

-Culture / great coworkers and managers, hands down -Consulting leadership is protective of Consultants. For instance, they may ask why you are not taking vacation time if you have a lot left toward the end of the 3rd quarter, to make sure that project managers are not pressuring you not to take them. Even though I have never seen EMs do that, the h igher up asking me such a question makes me feel that the company actually means to offer vacation time -Engagement Managers and MDs have great people skills and encourage you to learn and grow by taking the risk of giving you challenging work -No weekly traveling for most of the year -Low employee turnover rate despite the fact that I work in consulting -They take work-life balance seriously

Cons

-Skills training, other than training that all new hires go through, would be nice. -The starting salary for MBAs is on the low side compared to other firms that also do not require constant traveling.

Pros

I give this company 2 stars because there are some good aspects. Some study teams (NOT all) do try to support the CRAs. The Project Directors/Managers/COLs for the most part try to protect their CRAs as much as possible. However, there's only so much they can do because their hands are tied by Line Managers and Resourcing. Most studies utilize user-friendly CTMS systems, which is a plus for doing reports and organize site visits, etc.

Cons

CRAs (especially in certain units) are stretched beyond their limits. More and more CRAs who were promised to only be assigned to 1-2 protocols are now assigned to 3-4 and in some cases more. CRAs are traveling country-wide more often as well, which is causing much stress. Line managers do try to help, however, Resourcing is calling the shots and continually turns down requests to relieve CRAs who are over-worked and burned out. CRAs are considered machines, not human beings. There is no work-life balance being a CRA with Syneos Health and it will only be getting much worse with the amount of work coming this and next year. A mass exodus of CRAs is right around the corner and they aren't hiring new CRAs fast enough to cover. Syneos used to be a great place to work with high morale where CRAs felt valued and were actually happy. This is not the case anymore. PTO seems to be harder to accumulate for some reason. Benefits are just okay.
