Pros

Good benefits such as 401K match, annual bonus, health plan, onsite gym and urgent care (free) at Morrisvlle location. Flexible work schedule and managers open to schedule changes even last minute. Good company, stable positions, seems to be maintaining/moving in a positive direction.

Cons

Seems to be lowest paying of the CROs, high turnover, promotions given to those who are friends with management.
