Pros

- high salary, good exposure to various clinical trial designs and therapeutic areas

Cons

- Blame culture - managers blow minor errors way out of proportion during performance reviews. Performance reviews are based on comments from other co-workers. The culture is so filled with fears co-workers are quick to find faults in others to make themselves look relatively better.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
