Pros

The people you get to work with are great and most seem willing to help when you have a question or a task that you need help on. I feel very supported by my peers.

Cons

The multiple layers and 10 ways to do one thing make navigating the structure and getting something done a little painful. Sometimes you may feel constrained and not allowed to do your job... even though you were hired for your expertise. Management seems to like it their way and that's it despite a lot of talk about being open to new ideas and ways of doing things.

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.
