Pros

Access to the entire pharma industry

Cons

Ongoing, constant pressure to deliver and recognize revenue on a monthly cycle is a major driver of internal conflicts of interest between groups/departments - internal conflicts directly lead to compromises on quality deliverables, consistent client conflicts and very poor employee morale All work, no life culture - only cares about revenue generation and cost containment - stereotypical example of private equity driven management and leadership Unethical business policies - actively blocks reimbursement of legitimate business/job related expenses onto employees to maintain margins CEO mandated bonus reduction of 30% + in most recent fiscal year - stated reason was company not meeting internal 10%+ yoy EBIDTA growth target - subsequently rewarded senior leadership with stock/option grants + cash bonuses for company meeting/exceeding revenue/growth financial objectives

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
