Pros

- A good opportunity to understand various aspects within the company - Dental and health benefits for employees

Cons

- Extremely low pay and little to no chance of progression. Little to no appreciation for hard work from senior management - The company has an extreme cult-like environment where those who speak up against it are ostracised and othered; this behaviour is encouraged by upper-management in the unit. The toxic working environment is well known throughout the company and HR/management have done nothing about it - 'Management' and 'directors' get paid a lot to not know or do much within their department, or what their direct reports.

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 )

Pros

A few nice people. That's it.

Cons

"With Heart" is a joke. This company does not care about its employees. Those that have been there for a number of years seem to be brainwashed into thinking this culture is normal and that this company cares about them. Parexel likes to make employees feel like they are just lucky to be there. Senior Leadership lacks management and people skills and are quick to throw employees under the bus to protect themselves. Probably because for many of them this is the only company they've ever worked for. This accounts for the high school clique-like culture. The workload is ridiculous for the pay and expectations are constantly shifting. The only thing Parexel cares about is money. The company is overloaded with ridiculous metrics. It's practically all you will have time to do. The most miserable place I've ever worked.
