      New Leadership making horrible changes

      Pros

      Parexel used to be a great place to work until Rob Goodwin came in and started making horrible changes.

      Cons

      There is a new CEO who is changing lots of things at the company to create a hustle culture like where they came from. This includes moving to a "billable hours" model which will result in essentially taking away yet another week of vacation from employees. In the past 2 years they have already taken away 20 hours of sick leave and implemented RTO with no limit but essentially it had an invisible limit that management enforced which took a week away from long term employees compared to what the company used to give. Company is also letting US employees go to outsource to cheaper Countries. It's very sad to see this disheartening change to a company that used to be a great place to work. All they care about now is money.
