It used to be a good place to start out. Not the type of place to stay. - IRA Parexel Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits package. Flex Time. Great people.

Cons

Low pay. Layoffs recently coinciding with outsourcing of work to India has created very low morale. Technical problems creating difficulties sending work to India has created stress among the remaining employees who are trying to do a workload of more people than are left in the US office. Potential for growth is severely hindered, not only because of the economy, but because they kept hiring in India. I don't forsee having a job in a year if I were to stay. I don't appreciate having to come in at 7am in the morning to train India, and then being expected to stay beyond 8 hours to be available until 5pm on the same day.

Pros

full service CRO, lots of capabilities and resources for global studies. good at linking up resources/talent to study needs. very inclusive and good at recognizing talent. people are seen and best contributors are usually taken care of.

Cons

lots of changes being rolled out with limited transparency. contracting can be challenging. site payments and study closeout are areas that need improvement.
