Pros

flexible hours, lots of vacation\sick hours

Cons

too many to name - favoritism all over the place. The office is white dominant (between 95 to 98%), and the management likes it that way. People are rude and insensitive, and the overall culture is "whoever complains first is right". Management has no people or negotiation skills, and do not realize people have low morale when told to the management's face. Promotion system is completely random and influenced only by favoritism and not competence or how much you work. The harder you work, the more work thrown towards you without any proper recognition what-so-ever. Many people, including myself, have noticed that any improvements you make within the company that either improve workflow or save money for the company are simply marked as "part of your job description" during the yearly reviews, and you are not compensated in any way. Once you realize all the cons of working at Perceptive, you realize it is not worth it to work very hard.

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.
