Pros

Great salary, however, no maternity leave and strict policies surrounding workplace expenses. Central monitoring team is helpful.

Cons

Management at Syneos is horrible. Managers feed lies in interviews, then change their tune as soon as you start. Promotion opportunities are promised but limited. My LM was highly incompetent and I wish to never cross paths with them again in my career. Work-life balance is horrible. You will often work large amounts of overtime, do a lot of interstate travel and be asked to monitor 2-3x as much as expected.

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
