Pros

-You'll be exposed to a wide range of different projects depending on the account -You are provided with benefits (medical aid, retirement, UIF, life cover, disability) after 3months of passing probation

Cons

-Be ready to work for extremely long hours without extra pay -No work-life balance -A lot of discrepancies exist between agencies and countries in terms of benefits -Training (structure) offered to the UK writers is different from that offered to the writers in SA. They have 3months of training only, while in SA, you're expected to attend training and work alongside.

Great company to work for that has a lot of connections to big and small pharma companies.

No cons at the moment except contracts can end at any time . But they will get you on another one.

Pros

I’ve been really fortunate in my experience here. The clients I work with are genuinely kind and collaborative, and my colleagues are truly wonderful to work alongside. I know not everyone may have the same experience, but I feel lucky to work with such great people. The benefits are also a strong positive. There’s a generous 401(k) match, overall benefits have been good in my experience, and the unlimited PTO policy is a meaningful perk that offers a lot of flexibility.

Cons

Advancement opportunities can sometimes depend heavily on the revenue associated with your client or account, which may limit growth for those supporting smaller or less prioritized business areas. Additionally, there can be a perception of favoritism in certain situations, which may impact how opportunities and recognition are distributed. Promotion timing can be inconsistent and often depends heavily on the revenue impact of your account or role. Some employees may move up more quickly, while others can go several years without a promotion. Since there is not a consistent company-wide adjustment or merit cycle, salary progression is largely tied to promotion timing rather than regular annual increases.
