Pros

Some very nice people. They usually reimburse expenses quickly.

Cons

Where to begin? For the first two years I worked at Rho everything was great. My work life balance wasn’t that good, but it’s typical at a CRO. This summer our director disappeared and someone new took over. Since then there have been multiple rounds of layoffs. But the people getting laid off are long tenured employees. And they are being replaced with contractors that couldn’t care less about doing quality work. Now, work life balance is absolutely terrible. They require you submit your time cards every single day because they are so paranoid about overhead, which is equally annoying and concerning.

Pros

Good dedication from junior staff. Good working hours and WLB.

Cons

Lay-offs are frequent. Hiring and firing is on a constant cycle. Poor leadership all the way from the top.

Pros

One of the only remaining family owned CROs in the industry and people here are as real as they come. The company operates with transparency and the communication is open, down-to-earth and honest. This is a place where people actually seem happy and work/life balance isn't just a tagline. Comp is competitive and hard work is rewarded.

Cons

The company has been impacted by the downturn in the industry as has every other CRO. However, the impact here seems minimal in comparison to other CROs I have worked at
