Pros

people are motivated by providing drugs to patients, emergency day care, small appreciations such as cappuccino makers in each floor, easy access cafeterias around campus, parties and appreciation gatherings,

Cons

Too many decision making bodies. Very large and siloed effect taking place. Clin Ops group seems to have been scared into 'it's not in my job discription ' from sr. manager who punished for going outside the job dx instead of rewarding for it.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
