Pros

There are no Pros that I can think of concerning this company

Cons

The Senior Management have always promised the earth but have never delivered.They state they care for their staff but this is far from the truth when they have put staff on shorter weeks and forced people out with redundancies that dont affect themselves or any managers at all. Management expects the rest of the team to perform miracles constantly.and a high staff turnover explains the chaos they have created while looking purely after themselves. They want to be a CRO so much but don't want the added staff to back that up hence people are pulled from one crisis to another and people are in management positions who are incompetent at best. In a number of departments there is a lack of effective training as there is such a massive turnover of staff that those left to train the newcomers dont know 100% what the job entails.In a lot of cases this as left nobody has stayed long enough to be effectively trained and the ones that come in suffer as they are not getting trained fully as there is a training bond there.In numerous cases there have been issues with people who haven't been fully shown the basics of the job they are supposed to .

Pros

Supportive and hardworking colleagues who are often willing to help each other. Good opportunities to learn from peers and gain industry experience. However, when more senior guidance or managerial support was needed, it was often difficult to access, leaving teams to rely heavily on one another.

Cons

Many of the reviews here reflect what I personally experienced. Looking back, being away from the company has brought a much greater sense of peace. The culture is not as diverse or inclusive as it appears. I observed comments and behaviors from senior leaders that I felt were inappropriate, and diversity at leadership level was noticeably lacking. I also felt that some Top level leaders lacked the broader industry and experience expected for such positions, despite projecting confidence in their expertise. In a truly CRO environment, some of these leadership gaps would become apparent. The company remains heavily site-focused rather than genuinely CRO-focused, with decisions driven by local interests rather than a broader client and business perspective. If your question is why ? Then you must know the answers as they lack experience . Overall, I would not recommend the company to professionals seeking an inclusive, globally minded, and progressive work environment.
