      Overworked and underpaid - Project Manager Parexel Employee Review

      Pros

      The work structure is very well defined and has a well controlled process with specific gates and milestones. The products are mostly pre-defined modules that require any customizations to be accurately captured and tested.

      Cons

      Because of the well defined process, the project managers as well as other resources are assigned an overload of projects that make it impossible to provide quality service to clients. It is more than the norm for a conscientious project manager to spend an average of 60-70 hours a week and provide only less than adequate service for a salary at the very low end of the scale.

      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.
