Pros

Pretty much nothing if I compare Parexel to its competitors.

Cons

IT systems are one of the worst in industry. Project teams are inefficient due to chaotic company structure, right hand doesnt know what left hand is doing. Most of the work consists of completing redundant duplicit Excel sheets. Zero career development opportunities. How much time you spend sitting behind your desk is more important than client satisfaction or amount of work you do.

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.
