Pros

Benefits and compensation above average in the CRO industry. New technology, software, and processes got upgraded and streamline for better results and productivity. Friendly and knowledgeable coworkers. Can bank up to a year of PTO....

Cons

A lot of jobs got outsourced to other countries, resulting in mediocre results and time zone differences causing delays. The company recently announced around 850 layoffs and closing certain offices. Closing of the offices and staff reductions have caused some problems and created some unknown questions for employees affected by this.

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 )
