Pros

Good pay rate. Knowledgeable peers. Management sympathetic to work/life balance. Big, solid CRO. Lots of available training. Very relaxed dress code. Nice food/drink perks.

Cons

Pretty heavy workload, not always enough people, long hours sometimes when nearing deliverable date. Software levels could be more current.
