Pros

Salary is decent, some good people remain but most have left or gotten laid off. Bonuses were good but with the companies struggles I don't think will be seeing those for a long time. Can gain some good experience but highly dependent on if you work on Enterprise accounts or Biotech accounts. Would advise you to push for Enterprise. Biotech PLs have it worse.

Cons

Terrible leadership from the top. Example, the CFO dressed as "Tiger King" and told everyone we're fine. One week later he was asking everyone to take voluntary pay cuts, otherwise layoffs would start. PLs are understaffed, your project load will be unmanageable. The systems are easily the worst I've ever worked in.

Pros

full service CRO, lots of capabilities and resources for global studies. good at linking up resources/talent to study needs. very inclusive and good at recognizing talent. people are seen and best contributors are usually taken care of.

Cons

lots of changes being rolled out with limited transparency. contracting can be challenging. site payments and study closeout are areas that need improvement.
