Pros

Good pay, decent benefits. There is a lot of flexibility and good work life balance.

Cons

You don’t get unlimited PTO until director level. Basically been told I will not get promoted any time soon because the company isn’t doing well. No room for growth.

Pros

With the Thermo Fisher acqusition, there is a really great uptick in quality of benefits compared to the previous benefits available via PPD.

Cons

Senior Execs are the most entitled I've seen in my 30+ years of corporate experience. They are cordial, but the arrogance and way they talk down to you is deplorable. Maybe it's the pharmaceutical market segment, but what 50+ year olds find sense of self-worth by displaying their PHDs on the wall. Pay levels are below market and miniscule annual increases only keep it that way. The TFS acquisition process is sub-par at best. A year and a half post-acquisition and there are still disparate financial tools, HR tools, and the integration is proposed to take at least another year plus. This lack of integration practically creates daily issues with those down stream from the top levels and are time consuming to say the least.
