Pros

Good work life balance. Lot of opportunities to learn. Good exposure if you are willing to do work. Ideal place to work for people who want gradual progression with time. GMP level, understanding and implementation in daily work is very good and better than most of the companies in Ireland.

Cons

Salary is competitive against other CROs but not big pharma. Management can make some improvements for smooth workflow in company. Not a place for quick promotion based on good performance. Too much documentation, should switch to electronic notebooks and LIMS for more efficiency and tedious procedures.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
