Pros

Salary. Ability to work remotely.

Cons

Too much work assigned to individuals and not enough hours in the day to get anything done. Being pulled from one meeting to another in terms of pleasing a client to internal meetings associated with providing mandated updates on a too frequent basis. They work you very hard here - the work/life balance is non-existent. Minimal training in place that is effective at upper levels.

Pros

full service CRO, lots of capabilities and resources for global studies. good at linking up resources/talent to study needs. very inclusive and good at recognizing talent. people are seen and best contributors are usually taken care of.

Cons

lots of changes being rolled out with limited transparency. contracting can be challenging. site payments and study closeout are areas that need improvement.
