Pros

CEO is a great guy with good intentions, but he can't over see everything all the time. His lower level management is incompetent, have received no training and are running a zoo. Friendly Co-Workers.

Cons

Management is not on the same page with anything. No Career advancements. They will tell you there is but when the time comes they will hold you back. Line Managers don't agree on anything, and will give different answers every time you ask something. The don't understand details of clinical trials and will tell you to ask your PM, and the PM will tell you to ask your LM. No Training received, which leaves newbies frustrated and studies a mess. Studies are not taken as serious as they should be at the entry level positions. Only 10 days PTO until you have been there 3 years. They promise CTAs a Work from home day but you won't get it once you are in the door. Employees work from home anyways without permission, because managers aren't around enough to notice. Pay is lousy and other CROs in the area will pay you plenty more for the same job.

Pros

Some solid team members and colleagues to work with and learn from. Some flexibility in work hours, as long as your work gets done. Very deliverable-focussed. Interesting work in clinical research. The job is fully remote, which is nice.

Cons

Sometimes requires extended hours in order to complete project; very dependent on stakeholders and last-minute changes from various people. The volume of work and the constant pace can wear you down.
