Pros

My co-workers that I worked with day-to-day were great. I also enjoyed working with the direct manager I had for the first 4 years.

Cons

Company started undertaking alot of organizational changes in 2014 and this has continued. There was alot of confusion around roles, and new management was brought in for many areas. Much of the new management were incompetent and arrogant fools that I did not want to be around, much less work for. I left a year after getting a new manager that I did not enjoy working with. Before and after I left, there were many other smart and nice people who also left for similar reasons.

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )

Pros

The only pro is that they offer remote work.

Cons

I would give zero stars if I could, but since I can’t, I’m forced to give one. They seem to have layoffs almost every year. Their US-based pharmacovigilance team was also affected in 2024 and 2025. It really feels like a hire-and-fire culture.
