Pros

Good training, excellent to start your career in clinical research, wonderful bunch of colleagues

Cons

Management completely disregards needs of employees, unpersonal environment, not a lot of reward for hard work (except for the shareholders), lots of burocracy and needless administration for insignificant things, lots of pressure without enough support, loyalty not rewarded at all.

Pros

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Cons

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
