Pros

Depending on manager, you may be able to work independently without being micromanaged. Upper management appeared to try to stay in more of the day to day than at bigger CROs.

Cons

No transparency that allows some people to work less and make others pick up the slack. Although open to hearing out suggestions management seemed to be stuck in old ways.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
