Terrible management in General Medicine. Former INC staff lost out after the merger.

Business Outlook

Pros

Hard to think of something.

Cons

After the merger, former INC employees lost a floating holiday, benefits increased in cost, PTO earning schedule changed and impacted employees who had been there less than 3 years. Sabbatical earning changed and not for the good. No consistency in departments. General Medicine is a terrible and toxic environment!

Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

Very little training and development. Expectations are not in line with professional development or training provided. Culture is non-existent. Morale is brought down by a bullying culture. Managers will not be direct with you about performance and growth. Promotions from within are non-existent. Recruiters will tell you that Syneos has the lowest pay rates in the industry.
