Pros

Training and overall morale were fantastic when I first started working there. # of PTO days is much higher than some CROs.

Cons

A lot of dead-weight associate directors/directors that have been there 10-15+ years who are only interested in their own careers and not helping others. Extreme favoritism shown to East Coast and European employees.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
