Pros

1. Flexibility: I have never had a set schedule; great for work-life balance. 2. Pay & Benefits: I think the benefits are good and I like my salary.

Cons

1. Multiple reorganizations: I've had 6 managers in 4 years. 2. Silos: I honestly do not know what other departments do all day. 3. Weird organizational structure: My manager, team, and I all work in different areas of the business so we can't connect/relate with each other. I "report" to the different projects PM's and my manager doesn't really understand what I do. 4. COVID19 hit the business really hard: lots of changes

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

The only pro is that they offer remote work.

Cons

I would give zero stars if I could, but since I can’t, I’m forced to give one. They seem to have layoffs almost every year. Their US-based pharmacovigilance team was also affected in 2024 and 2025. It really feels like a hire-and-fire culture.
