Pros

Decent level of training (good for newer CRAs), allows CRA to work quite autonomously, able to work from home, good travel perks (travel day before monitoring, travel lounge access, decent accommodation/food/travel allowance).

Cons

Limited movement for growth (management will try to slow CRA progression to keep CRAs at the same level for as long as possible due to demand). Management team are not the most effective and supportive.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
