      Could be better

      Imaging research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It has good benefits. You can get the time off that you need when you need it for the most part. It's a pretty ok atmosphere.

      Cons

      They are really not open about how they promote people. The promotions are wierd and when you think it's your turn you get shot down. I believe that there can be a bit of favoritism out there especially in the Medical Imaging department.

      Poor leadership- Timelines unrealistic

      Clinical research associate ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Learning the industry and getting the training you need to move on. Use this place as a stepping stone to better companies that pay better and will respect employees.

      Cons

      The metrics created and timelines given are simply unrealistic. The new LEAP initiative has created intense issues that have clogged employee's abilities to actually do the work they are given. Program interfaces dont work. The guidelines are not drilled down and specific enough to do the job. More emphasis on naming conventions than doing the actual job. Data entry duplication is intense. Management is out of touch with employees and the timelines are excessively unrealistic. I find its sad to see so many good employees leave as a result of the incompetence of others. Backstabbing and bitterness runs rampant and is fueled by the poor morale. People are only staying as the jobs market is poor at the moment. Turnover is high. Great work ethics and high performance is not rewarded.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pharmaceducal Industry is growing rapidly, stable company, benefits are good.

      Cons

      Some of the worst processes I have ever seen, clueless about IT development, very political heavy at the top. Just hired any QA person for the first time!!!
