Pros

Read any large CRO websites and you’ll come across words like “power,” “driving change,” “streamlining” and “data-driven.” These are great concepts in and of themselves but how are these executed in the cultures of these companies? Frankly, I’ve met enough people who have worked at several of these companies to not want to experience the answer firsthand. Rho stands behind the company’s values and is truly focused on improving our industry, providing the best solutions to clients and taking care of and doing right by our people. My best friends work with me at Rho and have for years. I have the opportunities to learn and grow as much as I want. The autonomy that is possible here, the level of achievement and the deeper meaning behind this work that are offered at Rho is rare and exceptional.

Cons

Rho is not for everyone. If you are someone who needs a ton of structure, lots of layers of line management support, or very clear direction for what to do next, you probably won’t be happy at Rho. This isn’t to say these are bad things but they’re just not Rho. The flat organizational structure and project-based focus definitely causes lots of challenges and headaches. These challenges necessitate that Rho only hire people who are creative self-starters and the people who are the most successful here are the ones who offer great solutions or debate in healthy ways about solutions to our challenges. People who complain without offering a solution just won’t fit in.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible, lot's of opportunities to learn, great people, innovative. Generous time off. All in all, it's a great place to work.

Cons

Need more formal training programs. While there are lots of opportunities for informal training, more formal role-based training is needed, especially in the absence of "departments." Slow to hire.
