Pros

Good place to go through a biotech bootcamp and then get out and into a company that will respect you and your knowledge.

Cons

Political doesn't even describe it enough. Bad behavior and ass kissing is rewarded. Forget about having an original thought. They do not exist here.

Pros

PAREXEL has competitive pay for a Clincal Research Associate and also has great benefits. The company believes in educating their employees through trainings and refresher courses.

Cons

I would have like for PAREXEL to have their CRAs become more regional in their travel. I was decentralized out of TX and managed mostly east coast sites; extremely exhausting!

Pros

There is a Work from Home component, but it keeps changing, so I am not sure where that stands

Cons

Perceptive has no work life balance, they want you available at all times. They give you a blackberry so you can be reached by management or the client at all hours. There is no room for advancement, if you are good at your job, they just give you more work. They do not support new idea's, to help streamline process. Management does not accept feedback, they just give. Once you show a desire to move to another position, the work environment becomes worse, if you disagree, they will literally make up a reason to fire you. Staff that is incompetent is kept on much longer than they should.
