Pros

Great medical benefits - at least until 2017 when ObamaCare Cadallac tax kicks in and above average medical plan will be dropped due to government taxation; Great vacation and personal time off. Can work from home environment which allows more work to get done.

Cons

Majority of LMs and HR managers are inexperienced and provide no support for problem solving. LMs are normally CRAs who tire of travel and are promoted to an over paid non billable position. They have no education training in management and no experience as managers. This leads to CRAs with years of education and experience being professionally harassed. LMs stress quantity of work over quality of work due to some obscure time on site metric that has little to do with time of on site quality.

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.
