Pros

- Good and smart people working in the company. Mostly a pleasure to deal with if they are not in management roles. - Flexible work hours and opportunity to work from home - Invest into training if you will ask for that at the right time

Cons

- Company doesn't let go of old processes and doesn't want to change them for better. Only separate departments can adapt, but then blocked by other departments that are not touched by the change. - No buy in from management for anything new, when things starting to down the hill everyone revert to old ways and don't finish change transition. - Do not invest into technology or innovation - Leadership doesn't provide proper support to personnel, just pressure people into working overtime to get things done faster. - They are not Agile even through they formally has adapted Agile and SAFe. - Mindset shift is impossible, every "new" process results in being even worse and less efficient. - Do not care about their people (vacation can be denied to deliver release, ppl expected to always work overtime, burn people out, play on a fact that some people can't leave because on visa) - Bios to hiring certain nationalities. - Always conflicting priorities and no clear vision for the future. - Terrible corporate culture.

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 )
