Pros

There are some great people in Clin Ops and Data Management. I never thought I would leave.

Cons

All the great teams in the world cannot make up for hiring shortages, which force staff to cover much more than the 'official' 1.0 FTE . Experienced CRAs get placed on too many protocols with competing deadlines, sites are switched frequently and burn - out is a given.

Can be stressful working to multiple, conflicting deadlines from various stakeholders e.g. clients, Sponsors, internal departments etc. Also part of the challenge!
