Pros

My co-workers are certainly the best part of working at Fortrea and the option to be a remote employee is certainly a benefit.

Cons

Not much consideration for the employee's and their personal growth. Upper management is too BUSINESS focused and not spreading the focus enough on the business and the people who make it work. During the "Spin-Off" employees went 1mo without access to HSA/FSA funds and could only verify insurance information M-F, 8am - 5pm. This was very inconvenient for any employee who had a medical emergency outside of normal business hours or on the weekend. And not having access to employee contributed HSA/FSA for one month was extremely inconsiderate to employees who may have an emergency and cannot verify coverage which means paying out-of-pocket. Employee focus during spin-off from Labcorp to Fortrea was not employee focused at all.

Pros

In my experience, the greatest benefit of working here was the breadth of exposure I gained across my function. That said, much of it came out of necessity rather than design. Due to what I observed as persistent understaffing, high turnover, and recurring rounds of layoffs, I found myself taking on responsibilities that stretched well beyond any defined scope. If you're someone who learns by doing and can tolerate ambiguity, you will walk away having touched more than you would in a more stable environment. Benefits were adequate, though it was my experience that the company announced plans to eliminate dependent coverage starting in 2027, which was a meaningful shift for employees with families.

Cons

In my time here, I found role clarity to be nearly nonexistent. I went without a formal job description for the duration of my tenure, and despite raising it, leadership indicated for well over a year that it was being worked on. That pattern, in my opinion, reflected a broader cultural issue: change was frequent but poorly managed, and directional guidance from leadership felt inconsistent and at times difficult to trust. I personally felt that communication about the company's position and direction was not always straightforward. The organization also appeared, in my view, to default to workforce reductions as a primary business lever rather than investing in stabilization or accountability. When leadership gaps surfaced, my experience was that they were minimized rather than addressed directly. The culture within my dept was also something I struggled with. In my experience, there was significant misalignment around ownership and responsibility, and the dynamic felt more competitive than collaborative. Rather than pulling in the same direction, it often felt like individuals within the team worked against one another rather than in cooperation, which made an already challenging environment that much harder to navigate.
