      Disorganized mess

      Pros

      It's the biggest CRO, there's job stability, and everyone knows PPD. Once you have monitoring experience, you can go anywhere else.

      Cons

      The pay is almost never competitive with other CROs. Management is constantly changing expectations with no transparency and little to no time to adjust to new expectations without it negatively affecting your reviews. Your work-life balance depends entirely on the studies you are assigned to - if you are over-allocated or assigned to an unreasonably demanding study, there is no help for you to accomplish the extra work expected and your personal life will suffer for it. You may not get a manager who supports you and tries to help; if you don't get a supportive manager, expect to drown in work and get bad reviews for it.

      Toxic Place with very limited ggrowth opportunities

      Operations finance analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relatively flexible work arrangements (depending on how is the manager) with possibility to work from home once a week (on different day each week). Good place to hang out until something better comes along.

      Cons

      Toxic and vindictive environment, untrained management with narrow minded approach. Extremely boring and repetitive work, more suited for a young administrator than the accountant. Very conservative and rigid approach to "analysis". Often using wrong tools for the job. Challenge and improvements highly discouraged. EXTREMELY high staff turnover, unstable environment. Arrogant managers.
