Pros

Training is great at first.

Cons

Once you are on a team you do not receive any support and are on the hook for anyone's previous mistakes. I was put on a "Sprint" right after I joined a team because the previous employee was not doing their job and I had to clean up after them. Management can be good, but you'll switch managers often and some are not fit for management.

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 )
