Pros

Mon to Fri with ‘flexible’ working. If you want a career in clinical trials and struggling to get your foot in the door. Do this role for a few months then move on. Heard other departments are better but I’d avoid the cdc role at all costs.

Cons

Poor managements styles. Lack of career development. Blatantly lied to at interview. This is not a graduate scheme or a role where there are opportunities to develop. No bonus. Salary increase was tiny. Office is a small little office with shared desk system in place even though you are expected to be in the office at least 3 days a week.

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

Flexible remote work for many US employees. Most employees work hard and genuinely care about delivering quality for sponsors despite the challenges.

Cons

Leadership is disconnected from the day-to-day reality of project teams, and workloads continue to increase while resources decrease. Constant cost-cutting and restructuring have left teams understaffed, resulting in burnout and high turnover. Scope creep is common, yet staffing and timelines rarely reflect additional work. Decisions only prioritize short-term financial metrics over employees and quality. Communication from leadership lacks transparency, especially around staffing decisions, compensation, and org changes. Employees are expected to do more with less, and this has become the norm.
