Pros

Good teams, good systems, excellent flexibility, competitive salary if you negotiate well.

Cons

Lots of work, little relief if you are over allocated. Line Managers are usually good and have the best intentions but also have little power to improve work-balance of their direct reports. Upper management seems either to be disconnected from the feedback or choosing to ignore. Recall town hall meetings where upper management openly blocked the truth when one a brave person actually spoke up!

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.
