Pros

-Good Salary -Fast recruitment process -False image of being top 5 big CROs in world.

Cons

-POOR training -POOR knowledge and understanding of Leads/PMs. Who are based in different country than you and have major lack of understanding. -Major lack of communication in team. People who have information hide it and don't bother helping. -If you are CRA,then they will make you work like dog. They have so called big teams of feasibility specialist, contract specialist, site start up experts, project specialist who just dump their work on you and leave a cunning smiley :-) at the end of their emails. -Apparently everyone feels that they are overworked and have no hours to spend on any project. (Then what are you doing exactly if you are telling everyone the same story.) -Not good for people who work hard, know their job and take ownership of their work because overall culture is sly and lazy. - They say that their tagline is "I own it" but trust me the reality is exactly opposite. Everyone is looking for some excuse to avoid work.

Pros

Excellent PTO and holiday pay (extra week from Christmas to New Year in addition to regular PTO). Friendly people. Flexible scheduling, availablity to work from home when needed. Good for newcomers looking to enter CRO industry.

Cons

Low salary compared to rest of industry. Promotes a culture of blame instead of a culture of problem-solving. Over promise and under deliver to customers, which creates a lot of stress on project teams. Lack of follow through on promotions and raises No bonus or incentives; recognition programs in place are childish and provide no actual incentive. Lack of resourcing, most departments are understaffed and employees are expected to "pick up the slack" for an indefinite period of time, which doesn't seem to be ending. Like most companies, promotion and recognition is political - those that get the most face time with upper management get promotions while those that stick their nose to the grindstone and actually complete the work are awarded with more work.
