Pros

Multinational environment with group interaction globally. The company is small enough that you get a sense of family. Good colleagues,

Cons

Nepotistic and unfair promotions makes it difficult if you are trying to make a career. Pay scale is in the bottom half percentile.

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 )
