Pros

Great Colleagues Will learn a lot about different testing and data review Managers supportive Work-Life Balance

Cons

The findings for electronic workbooks are VERY subjective. Be prepared for spend many hours responding to findings (that sometimes aren't even required). Large learning curve because what you learn during new employee training, lab training, and client-specific training are not consistent. The work is sometimes disorganized because there are many projects that often change priorities everyday. Must be willing to scrap several hours of work to pick up a new project. The software they use is old and very buggy. Makes learning curve much bigger than it needs to be. The pay could be higher.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
