Pros

good people to work with. learn lots, will work on many studies in many theurapeutic areas. flexible working hours (work from home versus office based)

Cons

over worked, low salaries over the years senior management had an inability to listen to those actually doing the work. But lately they seem to be getting better. But there is always the risk they will fall back into that trap. Why? because like most CROs the company is run from the top by clinical people with no knowledge of what is involved or required to handle or process data. They have a history of listening to business development when making study related decisions, which is a huge mistake. But they are getting better....

Pros

My coworkers were the best at Parexel - everyone was very warm and welcoming even in such a high stress environment. Their onboarding process was quite thorough and I felt I got great training when I was brought on.

Cons

Management did not seem to take concerns seriously.
