Pros

Nothing that I can think of.

Cons

I felt unsupported. They told me when I took the job in FSP they were really great at placing people if a sponsor assignment ended. I interviewed for a few jobs that weren't available and an opening never arrived. I was told when I took the job there would be a grace period after an assignment ended but they then changed the policy so when the assignment ended you were done. No communication until the day of the layoff. Not one email. All based on rumor. Not a great way to work. No severance because "we were given plenty of time" even though they made it sound like we had nothing to worry about.

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 )
