Pros

Good exposure to clinical trials and sponsors. Fast-paced environment to develop CTA skills. Some project managers and trial managers are lovely to work with. Great work culture with a friendly environment, and the social club is a nice way to connect with colleagues.

Cons

Low pay, limited growth, and biased management. Overtime is expected but not recognised. Performance reviews lack constructive feedback and often overlook actual contributions.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
