Now it's 5 stars

Sr clinical trial manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Previous bonus plan was based solely on corporate goals, so for the past 2 review cycles the company didn't meet goals and no one got bonuses. This year they finally rolled out a bonus plan that is based on both corporate and business unit goals so I expect a bonus going forward. The company is great about wellness and balancing life. I like the company.

Cons

Previously we didn't receive bonuses. Huge disappointment especially when so much money has been made in pharma!

High Pay but Very Limited

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Salary negotiation - FSPP stocks invite - Unlimited PTO - Fairly Quick and easy Onboarding Process - Simple timesheet submissions - Lots of management resources available

Cons

- If you're dedicated to one sponsor you aren't too fond of, you're stuck with them - FSP 360 isn't truly an option for you to switch sponsors or projects if needed/wanted to - Double emails to check (CRO and Sponsor) - Double timesheets to submit (CRO and Sponsor) - Expense reports should be completed before your manager decides to take PTO - Unlimited PTO isn't truly accurate as you'll be swamped with work - Bonuses and yearly merit increases are not real so ask for a high salary during your interview

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO, nice colleagues, no micromanagement

Cons

Rampant favoritism, poor, poor training, no transparency or much communication at all from the CEO about where the company is honestly heading, no bonus after employees were promised a lot, cutting much needed positions, free-falling into chaos with people resigning daily.
