Pros

Good experienced CRA team. There's a friendly work environment where project teams work closely together for the objectives of the study.

Cons

The company has moved away from the small family culture and is moving toward employees being just a body doing a job. There is a lot of Eastern European (EE) influence mainly from Russia and they have a very stern cut throat culture. Many of the EE management staff will disrespect their subordinate staff during meetings. Management team does not go to bat for/support their team.

Not many, it really was a great place to work.

Pros

Some great team members Some leadership (middle managers) are great and truly care The company does a lot of good work

Cons

- Senior Leadership in Switzerland is 100% out of touch with reality, setting goals that are not attainable - They hire some questionable people to make decisions - If you're not in the EU, you're garbage - Max "raise" is 10% every 3 years for most people, unless you're in HR - Promotions can be squashed from the Swiss if they don't like you, even if your manager and director want the promotion - The sales team is full of legacy vets who can't sell, therefore the rest of the company gets punished - Career advancement is a joke - Company claims they listen to data, but often times ignores it - CEO is non existent and uses mouth pieces to pass along his messages - Active attempts at cutting anyone out who doesn't drink the kool-aid, or the swiss don't feel are true experts at their job (based on what, who knows)
