Pros

Good people in the trenches; a lot of information & data to help you with performing your job and meeting client needs. Global company with a strong clinical and data presence.

Cons

Upper management is only focused on earnings at all costs - meaning there is little concern for work-life balance, career growth, etc. You are very expendable here. The CEO is invisible and does not interact much with the team. Also, despite an endless number of acquisitions, they have failed miserably in integrating the pieces, so it still operates in silos. The majority of acquisitions are done to get rid of competition, not to enhance the overall service offerings and value delivered to clients.

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
