Pros

Great benefits. Very flexible work hours.

Cons

Doesn't allow for much advancement in career. Too much micro-management from corporate for promotions and in general. I was told I was not at PPD long enough to receive a promotion.

Pros

I learned a lot in my first year. The people I reported to directly were great mentors. I was able to work on a wide variety of study designs.

Cons

The workload was extremely high, but that may have been due at least in part to the one-off project I was working on. Promotions seemed to be almost entirely based on years of service and not merit.
