Pros

The reason I looked forward to going to work every day was the people that I worked with and were surrounded by.

Cons

The company asks for your everything. Your days, your nights, even your weekends. When it comes to what it is willing to give in return... when it comes to merit increases, salary bonuses, accolades and the like... those were few and far between and reserved for select few who seemed to already be predetermined for higher roles in senior leadership.

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )

Pros

The only pro is that they offer remote work.

Cons

I would give zero stars if I could, but since I can’t, I’m forced to give one. They seem to have layoffs almost every year. Their US-based pharmacovigilance team was also affected in 2024 and 2025. It really feels like a hire-and-fire culture.
