Upper Management is lost

Pros

-Coworkers are reliable and hardworking and dependable (at lower levels) -work from home options are beneficial -that's about it

Cons

-management is very confused about what exactly goes into starting clinical sites up and the timelines required -management has a major disconnect at demands placed on CRAs/CMAs or CSMs/iCSMs - too much work to do, with no backup or explanation or guidance from project leadership or upper management because they are all confused about the processes and how clinical sites work -upper management ignores major glaring issues and mistreatment by line managers, project leaders which leads to faster burnout and high turnover rate, leaving staff more stressed with less resources and leaving sites frustrated with constant changes in contacts... - I could go on an on.

Company lies to clients and employees

Pros

Good stepping stone for entry level employees and ability to gain decent experience. Good health benefits. Flexible working environment and hours.

Cons

No room for advancement, poor salaries and very poor management. Parexel lies to clients stating that PAREXEL and PAREXEL Informatics are one company but this is not true. PI employees are treated poorly by Parexel employees and it is very demeaning. Many PI employees have left due to this culture. There is a huge amount of disconnect within the company ever since Parexel started to crush employees with so much corporate policy. The company continues to create new demands for employees but then lays more people off.
