Pros

This CRO company spun off of LabCorp Drug Development (formally Covance) and does offer decent incentives to employees including FTO. Good mix of clients and management style. For the most part open and flexible to improvements.

Cons

The company terminated seven people including myself and my line manager here in the US with no warning last September (2023). A brief and brutal exit interview was staged citing a "workforce reduction" due to financial issues. Following that conversation It was extremely difficult to achieve ANY communication with the appointed HR rep. She did NOT acknowledge our emails! I had to eventually reach out to the Director of Data Management to expedite our severance packages. Additional FU with the IT dept. through another admin was necessary to get my company hardware (laptop) returned. The company has NO contact phone number and appears to hide from the public. It took about 2 months to resolve all this mess. It was disgraceful. I would advise any applicants to be careful about applying here.

Pros

This is people-oriented company that helps to bring life-changing medicines to the market. It really cares about employees as well which is proven by support delivered during UA crisis. The company itself has very healthy corporate culture that creates positive and encouraging working environment.

Cons

Working in times of changes (spin-off) means dealing with a lot of ambiguity, but it also creates opportunity for development.
