Pros

Interesting projects 80% of the employees are decent and very good at what they do It was not common but you could engage in a very interesting project that goes towards data modelling

Cons

Managers are not trained to be managers, they left their insecurities dictated their behaviour No compassion/emotional intelligence that reaches bullying level Too hierarchical 0 opportunities to go beyond your position 0 real 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.
