Pros

work from home after 6 months, semi-generous PTO (~5.60/pay period, every 2 weeks), decent starting pay with little-to-no experience required ($18.50/hr), 1 hour (unpaid) lunch break, on-site gym, management that does not push you or communicate frequently, but is always open if you need something. Build admin skills with doc review, report generation, professional communication, etc. As of last month, no dress code. One of my favorite things: very diverse group of coworkers from all different parts of the world.

Cons

Slow career mobility, poor (non-existent) company culture, cubicle office setting with very limited natural light, long, tedious work with little relief, coworkers were not cooperative, across the board it seemed many people wanted to point fingers rather than take responsibility, little-to-no perks (sad snack and break room with unhealthy packaged goods for SALE), no work-from-home equipment supplied to employees

Pros

Ample opportunities to learn many different analytical techniques and disciplines. Hard work is recognized and rewarded by promotions. Group leads have your back

Cons

Self motivation is how you advance. Not a lot of opportunities for individuals who are not self driven to learn more. Can get busy at times. Pay is average

Pros

The company is pretty good. Great co-workers, great team leader. Good office space. Good salary. Awesome that they hire fresh out of college grads.

Cons

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.
