Pros

I think if you want your foot in the door in clinical research; it is a good place.

Cons

Started hiring no experience clinical scientists which made my job more tedious than it should have been. No growth prospect . Managers - this is honestly up to luck. Because I did have a great manager but then followed by a bad one.

Good company, bad IT

Pros

Well run company with good communication from management. Good benefits at a reasonable price. Really liked my manager.

Cons

IT is horrible- very slow systems and virtually non responsive service desk. That is the main reason I left. Need more diversity in upper management.
