Pros

Order is the dominant theme at this company . If you enjoy order, then you will thrive in this environment . There are no "Imagineers" here . The titles are as strictly defined as military ranks and promotions follow a prescribed sequence. Employee reviews are done using a well defined process . There is money, so external training is provided in addition to the internally managed company training . Discounted tickets to various area events are offered . There is a sense that upper management is being careful by slowing down spending as the economy slowed and informing the staff as well .

Cons

If you do not like order, then this is not the place for you . The company defines Flex-time as 9 to 5 or 7 to 3 , take your pick . If you exercise your option to use Flex-time, you will be chastised since your department does not observe company Flex-time . There is also no dress down Friday. Business casual must be adhered to . The employees are very center to right wing since many of them live in New Hampshire .

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.

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