Pros

The parent company does offer competitive health insurance

Cons

There is nothing to recommend working here. Management get hung up on tiny details of no particular importance and are extremely reluctant to change anything. Staff turnover is extremely high (70% in 12 months!) Employees are therefore expected to work far longer hours than the nominal working week of 40 hours. It is not unusual to find staff working 12 hours days and weekends with no overtime payments. Employees are verbally abused and humiliated on a regular basis, frequently in front of other staff. Day-to-day planning/scheduling of work is poor and there is a definite culture of blame.

Pros

The people were hard working, dedicated, and a pleasure to work with. The benefits were fantastic and the paid leave and sick days were excellent and above average for the industry. The opportunities for on the job training far exceeded the industry average, particularly mid-sized-to-large biopharma.

Cons

The same challenges faced by all CROs.
