Pros

In Bangalore office they use to provide one meal free daily although the quality of the meal provided was below standard in terms of taste, hygiene and cooking (most of the time grains were served under cooked)

Cons

1. there is absolutely no job security in Parexel they fire people in the blink of an eye lid I was one of those victims of instant firing 2. extreme micro management and severe mismanagement by immediate superior- I was not allowed to leave the floor where as other teams were happily taking breaks 3. they will hire you as a shift employee asking you to come and work in a shift without providing any transport facility for the first one month 4. gross mis communication and lack of coordination among the HR Transport Managers on the floor - HR will ask not to come in a shift untill transport id provided whereas managers will ask to come in shift till transport is provided; HR will ask to sign a declaration stating that employee safety is not to be blamed on company if employee is coming in a shift without office transport; if employee tells about this to manager then manager says they are no aware 5. most unqualified managers I have seen ever 6. at the time of employment I was asked to sign a contract of two years and later fired within a day 7. The overall crowd of employees have regressive mentality; high aged people with very sad English speaking skills

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.
