Pros

Pros are: -- Still a big name in the CRO industry -- Lots of history -- Good "work from home" policy very much depending on your group

Cons

--Less pay than other CROs --Works its employees to the bone, and then some --Worse employee morale than at any point in the past decade --People in general no longer feel loyalty or pride in working for PPD, as it is obvious over the past 2-3 years that "PPD" is truly about nothing but "more money, faster". No one thought that it could possibly be worse to be owned by private equity than it was to be 'owned' by the quarterly results and the stock market....but we were all wrong.

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
