FSP, but great benefits

Cra ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I love being in an FSP role at Syneos because I have a more competitive salary than what I could expect at my current sponsor and I get to maintain the discretionary PTO. Syneos also lets you use it, I’ve taken 4+ weeks off over the course of the year with zero issues.

Cons

When I was still in full service it could be a little travel heavy the way almost any CRA role is, but I found it much more regional than my experiences at other CROs.

Business Outlook

Pros

- (Mostly) kind people - (Mostly) kind clients

Cons

- Extremely poor management - everyone is overworked and has no time to genuinely support staff - Unlimited PTO is offerred, but it does not make sense - if you take a day off or a vacation, you make up for it by working longer days before/after and are pressured to be available on mobile for the company while on vacation.
