Pros

Free Coffee. Flexible WFH policies. Pay is above average.

Cons

Very cumbersome blend of systems in place at PAREXEL. IT helpdesk has taken days to reset passwords, causing delays. Managers seem to be only concerned with looking good to their own manager, and have little or no interest in building a real team. Almost everyday there seems to be a fresh new wildfire to put out, leading to fatigue and just general apathy. Timezone differences among colleagues often require ridiculous meeting times for trainings or calls. Some days are nothing but meetings, and it feels like nothing gets done. I'm convinced money is likely the sole reason people remain here.

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 )
