      Great Company, Terrible Managers - Clinical Research Associate Parexel Employee Review

      1.0
      24 Apr 2024
      Clinical research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The company is good and you get RTO (Routine Time Off) but that is just a way for the company to not pay out PTO. So if you do not use RTO, and you get fired, you get no severance package or nor do you get your "PTO" paid out

      Cons

      Managers lie to the higher ups in order to get certain people fired. You have to make sure you kiss up to your manager, in order to stay long, you better hope to be liked by the higher ups because your work ethic can only do some much. I was a CRA II for 4 years and they never promoted me be to a Sr. CRA within those 4 years, but last week they offered me the Sr. CRA position with only a 3% increase in my salary.

      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 )
