PPD Clinical Systems Operations Associate reviews

Work life balance is hard, no set schedule

Management can sometimes be unfair in who they promote. Your entire future career is in the hands of one person. Job security is lacking. I don’t recommend being in the CRC position for more than a year (max two) because of the huge (and often boring) workload. During the study, everything is dependent on you so even if you make a small mistake, you will be blamed harshly. Makes sense for issues regarding patient safety and data, but otherwise small irrelevant issues shouldn’t be a huge deal as they often make it out to be. There isn’t much advancement other than being a research team leader which will require you to work almost 24/7. This position is generally not worth it and I recommend being a clinical data associate at PPD instead. That is the best entry level job position in my opinion.
