Pros

Good place to work for entry level if you can get a full time position. Most Program Managers and clinical management up to the Director level start at entry level positions and can be promoted rapidly. Local management team are great.

Cons

Pay isn't great. Very bureaucratic and hard to get anything done. Each department are in their own world and don't understand the work of others. There's no one to bridge the gap and work is very inefficient guessing at what the other teams want. Most entry level positions are PRN and when business is slow you won't get hours.

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 )
