Not much opportunities for growth

Sr. clinical research associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked with some great people (in the 1st half of my employment)!

Cons

I spent many years with the company. I realized that the corporation values the executives, not so much the ordinary hard-working employees. So many people left at the time I left, many teams broke down! People were burnt out. No matter the great track record I had for years, the company would not let me transition and continue to develop in a different department where I was going to be a great fit for. The Manager's support I had would not help either. Line Managers' opinions were not really considered. There was so much talk about how valuable the employees were....none of this was true in my opinion. Just empty talks!

Screwed With No Lube

Territory manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A paycheck and a company car (more like a coffin on wheels).

Cons

There is very little to nothing that I can say positive about my experience at Syneos. Syneos allows the client to treat their reps in any way or fashion. If the client wants to screw the Salesforce out of their hard earned bonus, Syneos is on board. If the client wants to provide less than stars PTO and sick time, Syneos is okay with that. If you voluntarily leave the company, Syneos only pays you 1/3 of your EARNED PTO.

Resources are Scarce and Existing Employees are not prioritized

Business Outlook

Pros

-Large company with great name recognition -Opportunities at all levels and indications

Cons

-Culture has eroded badly, resulting in severe lack of resources, which means they are working people to death to cover the work they have. -Their promotion process is painfully slow and rigid (only one promotion window of 3 weeks in the last year) -Lack of adequate systems to do the work
