Pros

Unlimited PTO Remote/ hybrid schedule

Cons

Training is nonexistent, there are no SOPs or any kind of documentation for processes. Had coworker attempt to train me on a different task than hired for and could not do it. Brought my concerns to management about lack of confidence and knowledge, told to suck it up and figure it out. Departments are completely overworked and overwhelmed. Microsoft Teams is used to monitor your every single move, from how long you are away for lunch, to bathroom breaks or meeting times and you WILL be lectured if you leave for more than 3 minutes. No room for growth.

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )
