Pros

The clients and projects are very interesting, and it is a great place to join, especially as a more junior employee - you will learn a lot. Being a larger CRO, there are lots of systems and quite a set way to do things - again this can be helpful to the more junior employee.

Cons

The salary is absolutely terrible, even by CRO standards. Considering where some of the offices are (e.g Cambridge in the UK), it is barely enough to live on for more junior roles. There are no discernable perks or benefits, and many of those are only available to long standing staff (e.g over 3 years), by which time most staff have left.

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.
