Pros

There are some great managers that want to help you prepare and succeed in the CRA role. Ample training to prepare for your transition.

Cons

The in-house CRA program is supposed to last 6 months and then you are promoted to CRA 1, however the company has not fulfilled that promise. They have paused the program through one email and have not communicated any timelines or held a Q&A session. Line managers don't have any information they can share and everyone seems confused. Some people who were promoted to CRA 1 still haven't received their promotion pay. Chances to get on-site monitoring experience are far and few in between.

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
