Pros

Somehow, there are a lot of nice people, despite an environment of cut-throat internal competition

Cons

This is without any question a terrible company that provides a shoddy product because it is cheap and does not want to pay for what it needs in order to fulfill its obligations to customers. what happens here is plain and simply a nightmare. Promises are made to win awards, but the stafffing required to implement the studies is not provided. The result is that operational teams are overwhelmed and in competition with each other, and customers are indignant. There are people on sick leave (read stress) and turnover is rife. But we keep selling and promising what we know we can't deliver

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.
