Pros

My direct manager legitimately cared about me as a human, and most of my coworkers were amazing, talented people. But that's where the positives end..

Cons

First off, the amount of work is astronomical. To the point where everyone is so stress that having coworkers cry daily over how overworked and stressed they are is completely normal. We would beg the management to hire more people or assist us, but they'd just tell us it was fine. All this, for an insanely low pay. After i left the company, i got a 25% increased offer with every other company i interviewed with. And that increase just puts me at an average for what someone in this field makes. Embarrassing. Also, no raises. They consider the 6% inflation a raise, so not once the whole time i was there did it ever feel appropriate to talk about money with my manager. This company is losing good workers in droves and there's an obvious reason for it. Only older generations seem to be sticking around because they still believe in company loyalty, but younger ppl are going elsewhere where they are treated better and paid more. I'd stay away from this place

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
