Pros

- Competitive compensation - Opportunity to work with a variety of pharmaceutical clients - Exposure to a wide spectrum of projects in real-world evidence (RWE)

Cons

- Toxic work culture prevalent across multiple RWE (RWAA) teams, where focus is often on internal politics, job security, and profit rather than collaboration and integrity - Teams frequently prioritize client appeasement over objective assessment and scientific rigor - Disproportionate emphasis/value on document formatting and presentation instead of the substance and quality of scientific work, making roles feel clerical rather than analytical - The RWE department, in particular, appears to have lost clear direction and purpose
