Pros

Lot of career opportunities. Very good work/ life balance.

Cons

This company does not pay their employees with experience what they deserve. They pay more to new employees which is backwards when current employees have to train the new employees.

Pros

work from home after 6 months, semi-generous PTO (~5.60/pay period, every 2 weeks), decent starting pay with little-to-no experience required ($18.50/hr), 1 hour (unpaid) lunch break, on-site gym, management that does not push you or communicate frequently, but is always open if you need something. Build admin skills with doc review, report generation, professional communication, etc. As of last month, no dress code. One of my favorite things: very diverse group of coworkers from all different parts of the world.

Cons

Slow career mobility, poor (non-existent) company culture, cubicle office setting with very limited natural light, long, tedious work with little relief, coworkers were not cooperative, across the board it seemed many people wanted to point fingers rather than take responsibility, little-to-no perks (sad snack and break room with unhealthy packaged goods for SALE), no work-from-home equipment supplied to employees

Profit matters, not people

Pros

They pay well compared to other CROs

Cons

It used to be enjoyable but increasingly the workload has become totally unreasonable. There is no emphasis on work life balance. Its all about profit. In my current team, 4 have gone on sick leave due to stress, and 2 are leaving due to overwhelming workload.
