Pros

Efficient systems that allow micromanagement of metrics

Cons

Functional teams work in silos with zero collaboration allowed (between CTM and CRA group or the global central resourcing group and anybody else, etc.) Management focuses on metrics alone without consideration for study type (risk based monitoring vs traditional that might affect DOS or any other metric). Frantic hiring of poorly qualified staff coupled with rapid onboarding and poor training followed by intense metric focus prevents a focus on quality monitoring. Managers who bully subordinates and threaten job stability or withhold raises/promotions/bonuses/PTO for less than perfect performance under unreasonable expectations.

Pros

Growing Company, Many of the managers are great, Remote jobs, Internal Job transfers

Cons

Too many employees coming and then leaving. Constant changes with team members. No large salary increases if you stay with the company, many new hires come in from other companies and are given a higher salary while those who have been loyal to the company have to change departments or positions to see much pay increase. Project Specialists do not get in depth training. Very hard to catch on when trying to learn tasks, stay on top of tasks and are constantly being escalated to line manager about small things instead of taking the time to reach out and help you. I previously worked in SSU and received very good training and would be asked directly about any issues before being escalated to line manager. In the project specialist position I have been escalated to my line manager many times but never addressed directly and these escalations were regarding mistakes I had no idea about and that could have been resolved with proper training. It is hard to stay motivated when you feel like you are doing a good job but find out you are actually being escalated for doing something incorrectly instead of someone reaching out to help and explain the issue and guide you to better understand the tasks.

Pros

Innovative company - not afraid to try new things Nice colleagues and a collaborative environment

Cons

Completely new executive leadership team who are implementing too many changes too quickly. It’s chaos at the moment and a lot of highly competent people don’t understand the “why” or “how”. High attrition. Thought leaders and followers are voting with their feet and leaving the business Burn out from constant changes and endless agile sprints and workstreams on top of our day jobs. Pressure to sell/upsell to sponsors
