Pros
- A very talented and determined P.I. will impart a lifetime of Clinical Research
knowledge, and help you develop and/or grow your skillset.
- Other Senior Management on the Clinic side also hold many years of experience and are very talented and friendly.
- Can quickly move up the company ladder if you take initiative and show
leadership skills.
- Small size and task crossover can lead to great working and personal friendships.
Cons
- Well developed, independent professionals with many years of experience may find
integration more difficult compared with larger "hands-off" companies.
- Small size will create task crossover among workers, and may put you out of your
comfort zone.
- Changes in the vacation (P.T.O) for the average worker left a great deal to be
desired, but may have changed.
- Phase I research can tilt the work-life balance in a way you may not have
experienced.
