Pros

A good place for training in the CRO industry training. Good SOPs. Good document templates and standardized forms and procedures.

Cons

Studies are understaffed across all departments which results in heavy workloads for all. Very fast work pace. Overtime is a regular occurrence for which salaried employees are not paid. Difficult to get support both inter- and intra- departmentally, as everyone is so overloaded.

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)
