Pros

QA leadership do not have sufficient experience in QA domain resulting a predatory environment. Often in management meetings QA head wanted to team to be like brothers and sisters, while line managers take this as advantage for personal gain through financial benefits from subordinates

Cons

A non productive, toxic leadership team creating a toxic work environment, especially in APAC QA, still existing employees reach out to former colleagues for technical guidance which was not provided by current leadership team

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.
