Pros

Free lunch, free workout facility, friendly employees and nice building.

Cons

This place is great to get your foot in the door in the research industry, however not a place to stay long term. You will always feel like you are being micromanaged, promised to work from home and a constant fear of being fired. Additionally, the CRA managers only want to protect their image even if it means doing wrong. The president of the company portrays an unwelcoming attitude in the quarterly meetings and the company uses scare tactics.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
