Pros

I can only see it as a grand place for someone straight out of college needing to get experience and then move on

Cons

Employees are overworked and over stressed, work load is massive and pay is not reflected. Employees are blamed for any OOS, deviations and investigations. Overtime is not paid but you are expected to complete the testing on the day no matter what... People come and go all the time. Employee retention is very low

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)
