Pros

fairly straightforward interview, ok upward mobility if you're trying to be in clinical research

Cons

micromanaging, cycling through new managers, not much increase in salary in new positions. high stress at times due to being understaffed and high turnover. they wont hire enough people so they blow up your phone last minute to call you in for overtime, but at the same time they don't like to give it when you really need it. getting time off approved when you want it was also difficult and they gave you a hard time for it, sometimes it was whoever the manager liked who got approved.

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 )
