Pros

The people are good, the work is interesting and almost always engaged. Most of the people are on your side, the LMs listen to you.

Cons

There seems to be no career offer to move up. Management always spouts about upward mobility, but from the bottom line it seems nonexistent. Policy used to be you can't move up further than 2 job levels. However HR is changing that. The perception and the talk is it's going to be much more difficult to move up. Pay is not competitive. Other CROs are poaching CTAs and CRAs because of their competitive compensation. The new health insurance is much more expensive than it used to be. Changes happen so slow.

Pros

The team was great to work with and the general work environment was hard to beat

Cons

It felt like sales and upper management completely dropped the ball with our product. We had what could have been a large success in the market but we were too ignored to really push ourselves towards new customers. Pretty much the whole team was laid off as a result.
