Pros

My LM is great and my current study team is great. My workload is heavy (it’s a CRO CRA role, after all) but not completely unreasonable

Cons

Like all big CROs it is a meat grinder and it can quickly become overwhelming if your LM does not advocate for you Higher pay would be nice but in the current market it is fair

Pros

FSP work is great and feels stable, many of the people that work for syneos are very hard workers and have lots of experience in the industry

Cons

If your manager is not championing you, it is absolutely impossible to get salary increases/promotions. When promotions do occur, the compensation does not even come close to what it would be if you were an external applicant.
