Great products, terrible company

Account executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great tests, reps paid well

Cons

Leadership team untrustworthy, toxic and unfair. The rules apply to some, but not the 'inner circle'. Leadership plays obvious favorites and those not in the circle will never matter to the company

Business Outlook

Pros

Bigger picture, working for patients, for a good cause. Great benefits

Cons

Messy management, very disorganized team. During the interview process they promise career development, inclusivity, and a positive work environment. Once you start, team members complain about how the role is a dead end, and they constantly complain about being underpaid compared to the CRA sponsor side, and yet they are discouraged from speaking about it once they bring it up to management. CSC role does not translate very well in the biotech space, and closest role is CRC in academia research. Management uses this excuse to underpay CSC team. CSC Team is exhausted, overworked, and which contributes to a toxic workplace environment. The energy is tense, nit picky, and more. Look to another team, or try to get a role in the sponsor side (CRA).
