Pros

Great colleagues and challenging projects - after Parexel, you can survive anything.

Cons

The employees are not valued at all, have to do 2-3 persons work, leaving no free time and no chance to a normal private life. There is constant pressure and no support from the upper management who instead of decreasing the number of useless project managers (there are often 3-5 per study, and none of them has any idea about the project itself), decrease the number of actual workers and expect the remaining employees to work even during their vacation like good little slaves. The company values are only there for PR, do not mean anything for the management.

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 )
