Pros

There are no positives of working for this company whatsoever.

Cons

Managers regularly interact with their subordinates in a disrespectful manner. Employees are condescended to, addressed rudely, and screamed at with no consequences or recourse for this kind of treatment. Management's overall attitude is "every man for himself." This is exemplified by an absence of proper job training, lack of effective communication, poor work/life balance, and persistent willingness to defer delegated responsibilities to unaccountable parties. Employees are blamed for errors unequivocally made by their superiors and employees will spend a considerable amount of their work hours gathering tangible evidence to defend themselves against these false accusations. This company is notorious for paying some of the lowest salaries in the industry when compared to equivalent positions at competing CROs. The substandard salaries combined with the uncivil conduct exhibited by managers make this a miserable place to work. Employees are clearly stressed, exhausted, and depressed. Working for Syneos Health will degrade the overall quality of your life and after you burn out, you won't have any career progression to show for it. Avoid this company.

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
