Pros

The company has air condition, running water and indoor toilets.

Cons

I would not recommend this company to anyone in IT due to the stagnant corporate environment that is managed by individuals who do not take ownership of tasks or their employees. In addition, leadership expects their resources to consistently work over the typical 8 to 9 hour workday and rewards mediocrity. The employees who have been at the company for years have learned to delegate as many tasks as quickly as possible. In summary, this company is not for you if you enjoy implementing quality IT solutions.

Pros

Good line manager. Good health benefits (low premium, no deductible).

Cons

Expect CRAs to travel more (10-12 days on-site) and work more (lengthy MVRs 20+ pages with highly detailed annotated report, in a CTMS system) than other CROs. Atmosphere is negative and discouraging for CRAs. Morale is bad. Even lateral career moves for CRAs are discouraged. Some team and project management employs a 'pins and needles' attitude about how pleased the sponsor may be with CRA and CRO performance. Micromanaging but 'green' Team Manager.
