Pros

I've enjoyed working with my coworkers and feel that everybody is on the same team. The company has also been very generous throughout the recession (are we calling it that yet??) and has provided some additional paychecks throughout the past wear and a half to help offset that which really shows how much they care. The feasibility team, along with most other teams from what I can gather, appears to be all (or almost all) remote which is great.

Cons

The training was essentially "here's where you can find all the info about how to do your job, have fun!". In my first two weeks, I had one 1 hour meeting/training per day, and the rest of the time I was just told to read process documents. Very few interactive/in-person trainings, though I was on-boarded at the same time as several others in my same position so it should have been easy to train us all together. I've been in my position for long enough that I should know what I'm doing but I still feel completely clueless and asking for help doesn't get me very far. The organization of helpful resources is absolutely abysmal (e.g. in order to locate a template and job aid for a process, you have to know the month and year it was discussed during a team meeting). Also, the time off benefits are not good. They combine PTO and sick time into one relatively small bucket. As a new employee, I was offered 22 PTO days which, again, includes sick time.

Pros

They have a really strong CRA training program. Seems like people really care.

Cons

Compensation could be better it was not industry standard when I was there.
