Pros

The company culture when it was PRA was amazing. The functional managers for the SMAs were wonderful.

Cons

It is now a culture of fear. Steve Cutler had a town hall meeting where he told the American employees that they are outsourcing jobs to India because they can get more qualified employees for much less money.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
