Pros

Generally, coworkers are great scientists who are good to work with. Good experience across multiple disease areas.

Cons

Things have gotten very bad within this new company. Benefits have been stripped- benefits which primarily impact women and young families. Parental leave has been halved to 2 weeks, and minor holidays (school/daycare holidays) have been taken away. This company is not family friendly and is not interested in staying competitive in the market with their benefits. If you are a young professional who is considering starting a family soon, this is not the place for you. Salary is lower than industry standard, but historically benefits have made up for this. Without these benefits, there is very little incentive to stay long term.

Pros

My coworkers were all great. Being a CRO, a good variety of studies came through, giving me exposure to a variety of imaging modalities and study designs. The work is varied and interesting.

Cons

There has been some recent turnover and company structure changes due to the company recently being acquired.

Pros

Supportive co-workers make it worthwhile to stay Variety in therapeutic areas make it interesting to learn Customization in study design allows for a wide range of exposure to different study set-up needs Relatively generous PTO plan

Cons

No transparency from leadership Stressful deadlines/unrealistic expectations Lack of proactive communication between departments Most departments are currently understaffed Onboarding takes a long time Recent merger has caused too many things to change all at once creating a lot of chaos in the organization in an effort to 'streamline' Benefits have gone downhill over time Lots of overtime to keep up with study demands
