Parexel reviews

Upper management is not in line with the employees. They are about bottom line and health of the company at the expense of the employees. There is a high burnout rate and that leads to a high turnover rate. Employees are told there is a work/life balance that is promoted at the corporate level. At the employee level there is too much work to allow work/life balance. 12 hour days are quite common and weekend catch up is done often. If you only work 8 hour days you end up way behind and eventually complaints will be started about your work performance. The expectation is that you will handle all the work coming in. If you ask for help you are told there isn't anyone and to do your best. Some managers will support you others will say to suck it up and deal with it.
