Parexel reviews

Terrible culture of rampant micromanagement, red tape, and inefficiencies. Highly political. Forget about advancement unless you are chummy with the right people. Hard work is just not rewarded here but gossiping, backstabbing, and general incompetence are the way to thrive. You'll likely spend 80% of your time justifying and running reports on what you do the other 20%; and that's when you are not wasting your days in pointless meetings where nothing actually gets accomplished. Good luck getting your hands on assignments which require the very intelligence, skills, and experience that got you hired. Salaries are adequate at the start, but do not keep up with the market, so you'll be training and mentoring new people that are clearly less experienced than you, but earn 15-20% more.

This is without any question a terrible company that provides a shoddy product because it is cheap and does not want to pay for what it needs in order to fulfill its obligations to customers. what happens here is plain and simply a nightmare. Promises are made to win awards, but the stafffing required to implement the studies is not provided. The result is that operational teams are overwhelmed and in competition with each other, and customers are indignant. There are people on sick leave (read stress) and turnover is rife. But we keep selling and promising what we know we can't deliver
