Pros

Innovative company and great team. Very good company training program. Company was founded on the idea of caring for their employees and quality over quantity, and some of that spirit remains in the form of work flexibility.

Cons

The steering in company management for escalating in global CRO market by constantly growing (9-10%) while cutting costs without improving infrastructure has sacrificed all caring for employees, making everyone from baseline level to management fully overloaded, giving the impression of always running for to stop fires and lack of control or quality. Also salaries are no longer competitive

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
