Pros

I worked at Parexel from 2007 to 2025. It was fantastic place to work and grow. I claim that Parexel had the best people in the industry. Fantastic culture, educated refined colleagues, superior technology.

Cons

The culture of excellence began to erode after Joe von Rickenbach sold the company. Nevertheless, I still believe it remains a strong place to work—provided one has the good fortune of being supported by a competent line manager. In recent years, however, there has been an increase in less capable line managers in leadership roles, accompanied by a noticeable loss of talent.

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 )
