Pros

Flexible work schedules Most employees work from home 401k & company match Autonomy, self-reliance, self-sufficiency Excellent pay if you negotiate up front for it Adequate benefits Company likes to promote from within and I was told there is ample growth opportunities if you work HARD!

Cons

Global organization which can easily make you feel like just another number Training is very inadequate across the majority of departments Direction comes from all across the board so you will always wonder “Who is my Manager?” Overworked staff + burnout = high turnover Bureaucratic Political games Silo Mentality

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )
