Good freedom and flexibility, low reward

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company benefits for vehicle, retirement, generous pto and ok but not great medical costs.

Cons

The ice is thin over here at Syneos. Employee moral is at a low point due to increased pressure and responsibilities with no added resources or incentives to match. We’ve lost a lot of talent recently as the compensation often times isn’t worth what is asked of field reps. For the size of the company it often feels disorganized. It’s contract and chatter indicates its make or break time for contract extensions.

Pros

You get to keep your Per Diem and unlimited FTO.

Cons

If you go FSP, there is NO work life balance, no manager support, no mentor support. overwork you no matter how much you express that you can't do 11-12 days on site. This company does not care about you!

Pros

Vertical movement, if desired, and willing to work hard and put yourself out there.

Cons

Direct report headcount for managers at an all time high and steady at at least 20, average 22-25. Inadequate training for evolving Project Specialist responsibilities and lack of transparency for managers to support their direct reports in their careers. Lots of unrest since summer 2023, which can happen in any company, I realize, so not unique to Syneos Health, but times are tough currently, so the work is piled on and employees can either choose to stay and bear it or leave.
