Pros

A great opportunity to get exposure to the CRO atmosphere. Can work from home. Worked with great people.

Cons

The company has a LOT of turnover. There are people quitting every week. So work is constantly being transitioned back and forth in between employees. The company doesn't seem to have a problem with all of this turnover and have made no effort to improve pay, work load, etc. in order to keep the good employees that they do have. Hiring practices aren't very consistent either. You could have someone with a lot less qualifications than you working in a senior position over you. You can either have a very large amount of work or none at all. Nothing in between. The salary and benefits are not as good as other CROs.

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)
