      Leadership Disconnect, Poor Work-Life Balance and Risk of Burnout - Senior Medical Director Parexel Employee Review

      Pros

      My colleagues at the same level were great to work with. They were collaborative and supportive, which made day-to-day interactions positive.

      Cons

      During my time at the company, I felt that the new leadership was out of touch with day-to-day realities. Workloads became unbearably high, without adequate support or prioritization, the risk of burnout across the team was significant. Work-life balance was not treated as a top priority, and the heavy workload often contradicted the corporate dialogue of putting patients first and achieving quality work. These challenges made it difficult to maintain morale and deliver sustainable, high-quality outcomes

      Pros

      Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

      Cons

      no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )
