Being an IT professional at this non-IT company is okay but not ideal

Pros

The benefits are pretty good, the salary is reasonable, location is convenient. They do try to keep employees informed about what is happening in the company.

Cons

For IT people - this is a non-IT company so management doesn't always understand the issues or what is involved in solving problems.

Pros

Training and overall morale were fantastic when I first started working there. # of PTO days is much higher than some CROs.

Cons

A lot of dead-weight associate directors/directors that have been there 10-15+ years who are only interested in their own careers and not helping others. Extreme favoritism shown to East Coast and European employees.

Pros

- Good trainings. - Good to receive help when needed. - Second and third chances when you are not doing good. - Good support from managers - Overall, good place to work, learn, share and make a carrer.

Cons

- work overload - not too much balance between personal life and work - Doesn't matter if you work 70 hours per week. Don't get late in the morning.
