Pros

They utilize numerous trackers and systems to efficiently organize information for managers, making it one of the most impressive setups I've encountered in any CRO

Cons

Since being acquired by a private equity firm, it appears that the company prioritizes profit over leadership quality. For instance, communication among leaders is lacking; promises of pay increases to CRAs were reneged upon without proper notification, shifting the responsibility to line managers. Additionally, during town halls and meetings, leadership paints a positive financial picture but fails to deliver bonuses or even a year-end dinner for employees. They also need to focus on hiring talented COLs as LM are asked to do tasks that should be handled by study team. LM roles are becoming more of a glorified COL rather than focusing on development of CRAs.

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 )
