Pros

Nothing that’s not industry standard quite frankly. Sufficient PTO/Sick time, WFH, company covers dental and vision completely. A lot of good CRAs at the company.

Cons

You’re just a number. They assign you it on day one and that’s really it. They’re so metric driven and don’t care about the CRA. The line managers are pretty useless as most of the good ones leave. If you dare miss a metric everyone is down your throat.

Resources and access to good studies to be successful in research, immediate PTO benefits, 401k match.

Growth opportunities/compensation - besides the annual merit raises of <3 percent I haven’t gotten a raise in 5 years.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
