Pros

Remote. Some coworkers are cool.

Cons

Stay Away From This Company. Do not waste your time, energy, or effort here - it will not be reciprocated. I read the negative reviews before accepting the role and chose to ignore them, which was a mistake. In my experience, the negative reviews were completely accurate, and I paid the price. The environment ultimately did more harm than good to my resume, and that’s not something I say lightly. The CEO does not micromanage in the traditional sense. But once something or someone gets under his skin, everything shifts. Instead of addressing issues directly, he fixates on that person until he finds a reason to push them out. It stops feeling like leadership and starts feeling personal. It's less about performance, more about making someone’s work life untenable. He doesn't know how to work as team or even comfortably talk to other humans. He lacks the leadership to develop people, so he pushes them out instead. Terminations are frequent, abrupt, and often financially driven rather than performance-based. There is no feedback loop, zero effort to course-correct, just silence followed by dismissal. The company will use you for as long as it’s convenient, then cut you loose without warning to offset poor financial planning and their inability to manage the business responsibly. Employees are left blindsided, with no opportunity to improve or even understand what went wrong. I watched this happen to multiple good employees and then one day it finally happened to me. For someone leading a company, the CEO’s communication skills are strikingly underdeveloped. Difficult conversations are avoided, conflict is handled through avoidance or retaliation, and there is no effort to build trust. Decisions seem driven less by any coherent business strategy and more by ego and reactivity. If you value community, transparency, or basic job stability, absolutely do not work here. Leadership lacks both diversity and perspective. The executive team is overwhelmingly white and male, with women largely confined to traditionally “acceptable” roles like HR or advocacy. Women’s opinions are not given equal weight, and female leaders visibly hold back honest feedback or difficult truths because they understand the risk of speaking candidly. That kind of culture is not sustainable, and it reflects a deeper failure in leadership.

Pros

Every person believes deeply in the work we're doing. Managers are open minded about how the team works together and cares that each person feels connected to the mission and core values, not just the results.

Cons

We'd all love to have a wider variety of clinical studies to work on. And it's a small company, so not a lot of opportunity to advance for now.

Pros

technically easy work, some really amazing individuals, and a general commitment to the work. good opportunity to see the inner workings of clinical trials.

Cons

basically just a business school/management consulting echo chamber: lots of talk without really saying anything at all. while the work is pretty straightforward, it can be extremely tedious for no reason. importantly, there are some really toxic members of leadership who claim to want "hard truths" but refuse to change course or accept other perspectives.
