Pros

The growth. Personal growth potential has historically been great. Fast company growth has created opportunities one wouldn't get anywhere else. Free lunches are provided daily, along with gym and fitness classes. Food trucks stop by several times a week for something different, and recent announcements reveal huge development plans around the campus (hotel, restaurants, etc.). Mid-size means access to executives is still a reality. Outside hires in high positions may change the culture...things like working from home could some day become possible.

Cons

The growth. Some departments are understaffed, others are overstaffed. Executive access is still available but is decreasing. Inability to make decisions without director and executive involvement. Trend of working with biotechs creates micromanaging monsters on the sponsor side, operationally. Size is still small enough that the client has direct executive/CEO access to complain about you personally. With the exception of CRAs, the training is inadequate, at best. Flexibility is a coin toss--just depends on who your supervisor is. Overall morale is very mediocre. Compensation is good but certainly not fair considering the stress and demands of the job.

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.
