Business Outlook

Pros

Great sponsor to work with, FTO, very competitive salary (compared to other CROs I have worked with), supportive Line Managers who care about your growth, and great team leaders on study teams. They try to keep you regional the majority of the time.

Cons

DOS metric, very hard to meet DOS metric if you are a CRA 1 and as a CRA 2. Sometimes, the work can be tedious, but it is not hard (like doing rocket science, etc.). I liked it more when it was Labcorp Drug Development. I feel like the spin-off could have been held off and done later (due to the economy, high interest, etc.).
