Pros

Work with some decent people and you're entirely responsible for your own schedule. Like being dedicated to a single sponsor and only focusing on their SOPs.

Cons

Ridiculous monitoring unit credit system where remote visits (including the the ever present SQVs) only count for half a day even when you're spending multiple days interacting with sites and report writing. Absurdly long reimbursement period for travel expenses. I routinely have expense reports approved by my line manager not get paid out for >10 business days post approval.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
