Pros

Family like setting (and every family has its issues with one another at times), great location, flexible hours, good benefits

Cons

Too many people in charge with not enough resources to do the work (including FTEs), pay scale and raises are poor, management does not share need to know information, everyone works in silos instead of cross-communicates, processes are poorly defined, quality management cannot decide if they are assurance or control, proper stakeholders are not involved as needed for projects.

Pros

- The salary is adequate to the position - Very well recognized by clients in the CRO business - Very strong human resource

Cons

- Promotions don't occur by merit. It's necessary to wait for a period and some times it does not come. - Workers are not stimulated to exceed their expectations - No bonuses or very low bonuses - Very high work load - There is NO increase in salary wages for Brazil (only promotions) - Timelines are many times impossible to be met - Project planned hours are almost allways not enough.

Pros

Career advancement opportunities Great work/life balance Great people to work with

Cons

promotional windows of opportunity-only twice a year (April & October). You must be patient if you're a quick learner because the opportunity for advancement may not be avaialble even though you are ready to move up the ranks.
