      Medical research manager

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good exposure to capabilities in the medical devicd industry

      Cons

      The company has a history of nepotism and promoting the employees who constant berate other employees to make themselves look better. Management overlooks the lies of employees that are covering their tracks and destroys the honest, hard working employees who really try to make the place a better place to work. All departments in the company use the Medical Research Manager position as their scapegoat instead of actually doing their job. If you are honest, intelligent, driven and hard working, work anywhere else. This company will abuse you until you are defeated beyond belief.

      Thank you for your candid feedback. We acknowledge the Medical Research Manager position is one of great responsibility. The MRM role is multi-faceted and requires project management and leadership skills, as well as technical depth and client centricity. In order to support Associates in this critical role we have taken great effort to improve our technical training programs and to provide project management tools and training. Additionally, we have added a developmental position that prepares Associates for the MRM role, and now have a 30% internal promotion rate within the department. Through these efforts the Associate satisfaction scores for Medical Research Managers have doubled within the last year. We are always open to feedback and our management welcomes the opportunity to discuss these topics in person. If you have further feedback to share, please email us at recruiting@namsa.com.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      You get a lot of leeway with your schedule in the study director group if you get your work down without complainants and are available when the lab needs you. WFH. Coworkers are alright, I've had a lot worse.

      Cons

      No actual bonus, but they include it in the "total compensation package" value and use to hold the possibility in front of you to pull as much work from you for as little pay as possible then pull it away at the last minute. Very stressful. Understaffed. Systemic issues that will likely never be fixed. Run by venture capitalist firm who is doing everything to squeeze every last cent from the company. Cutting cost is the priority now rather than good science. NAMSA used to do "good science" and now, it's just "science". It would be bad science if the employees didn't have integrity. The top leadership doesn't seem to understand the day-to-day activities and how their decisions affect the employees. Burnout is at an all time high.
