Pros

Great work from home perks, in the beginning great management, small company in the RTP office- so you pretty much could see everyone.

Cons

The reorganization of the CMA role was just awful. It was poorly planned, and they were hiring managers who really didn't know their job, to lead a group of individuals who have been in the role without leadership for MONTHS. One of the senior managers never came into the office, and I'm pretty sure they were just a 45 minutes away. Don't believe the hype of a "CRA 1" program, it is not happening. They dangle the carrot over your head to make you believe you can advance in that area, but most clients do not want you unless you are a CRA 2. So I'm not sure how they are going to fill in the gap with this. When they hired Senior Management, all they did was really micromanage the work you did, without understanding what was going on. From what I saw the group before me is now gone. The entire group left within a 60 day time frame, and it was over Senior Management. All of this turmoil for only 42k a year. It isn't worth it. I've walked past the President, Ludo, several times and I have smiled and said good morning- sometimes he won't even look my direction after I wish him a good morning, other times he just rolls his eyes.

Pros

Remote, great benefits, unlimited PTO, lax work environment

Cons

Management is somewhat difficult to work with. Although I felt supported personally, advancement was difficult to come by. I felt I was being held in the same position with the same responsibilities and not given enough opportunity to grow. I felt needed by other departments who were reaching out, but felt there may be some behind the scene politics which I was unaware of that prohibited it. There was also a ton of restructuring going on at the time, and employees were mostly left in the dark about it. I loved this company and the work life balance was great, but I didn't feel I was getting the most out of my career. I think this could be a great company for a recent graduate, or someone who is no longer looking to climb the corporate ladder, but otherwise it was quite difficult for any advancement.
