Don't do it

Senior clinical data manager

Business Outlook

Pros

This is the required 5 word minimum.

Cons

Work/Life balance is 100% work, 0% balance. US pay just changed to bizarre twice a month instead of bi-weekly. Overwhelming amount of meetings with multiple tiers of project managers, few people who do the real work. Spend more time updating bookkeeping systems than working on the study. No one cares if you work overtime, Project Manager said "You're lucky to have a job." No raises or bonuses this year.

Cons

They don’t pay out bonuses. They’ll lie to you and steal your money behind your back. The management is TERRIBLE! No training and they want the world outta you. Stay away from this nasty company

Overall satisfied but company needs to restart promotions ASAP

Central monitor

Business Outlook

Pros

I love my line manager and teams/colleagues are really great here. Work/life balance is a priority to the central monitoring team and I feel like I am listened to when I have any concerns.

Cons

I am praised for my high achievements every time I speak with my Line Manager but when it comes to promotions or annual review/raises I am told I am "meeting the expectations" and don't feel I am truly valued like they say. If promotions don't resume and raises reflected in my work achievements, I will be sadly searching for a new company in the next year.
