Sink or swim - QA Auditor PPD Employee Review

Pros

Flexible work hours usually accommodated. Very good about diversity in hiring and fairly good on promoting.

Cons

Although they say that they pay industry standard, this is true only for the favored. No team support; it's sink or swim. If you're super good at that, this place may be OK for you, but since it's a CRO, the focus is a bit more on $ than on good science. And at least currently, the policy of splitting a salary pool, makes people behave in competitive, even unethical ways sometimes, to try to get more of the limited pool for themselves.

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)
