Best Experience in Research Thus Far But Experience Depending on Assigned Studies and Manager
Pros
Competitive pay, decent healthcare, good amount of PTO, 401K match, remote benefits, no commute, growing opportunities, company prefers to grow from within first. Company is trying to learn and grow from previous layoff and the reason for layoff… Quality control has been restructured since layoff. Company is recovering from layoff and seems to be growing as a whole. Leadership is open to feedback and constructive criticism.
Cons
Experience depends on assigned studies and management. Management style varies across the board (some managers are demanding, some not so demanding, some communicative, some laid back, some supportive, some are lacking in support). Training from sponsor is useful but CA training could be more organized and more extensive with on board training. Most training are modules or pdfs to acknowledge. Culture is based on assigned manager and team, not toxic but not the best. Some coworkers are extremely supportive and will volunteer to help and some will wait to be told to help. Some coworkers are responsive and some are unresponsive. Work drama is mostly avoidable due to remote work. Some teams on site seem hectic and likely need to improve organization and communication. Work on site versus travel versus remote also varies drastically. Some staff need retraining or remediation to improve their work ethic, knowledge, and quality.
