Pros

I like the international work environment. You work with almost the whole world together which is very nice and you learn a lot about the clinical trials environment in other countries. The salary is good! You get free coffee, tea and candy from the company. The company is very diverse the employees come from all over the world to be honest this is the most diverse company I have worked for so far. Some employees are very determined and work very hard to get the work done for the clients.

Cons

There is no training program at all I was lucky to have received some kind of training but the company has no structured local training program. Also you don't receive any support at all, you're working for 10 people. It's a sink or swim environment with a very high work pressure. There have been several burn out cases so it's very bad for your mental health. They work with archaic systems they use excels as databases, you receive like 1000 emails a day and are part of 1000 email groups which is very disorganized and chaotic sometimes. It's a communistic company they pretend all is fine, they are bragging how great they are, how fast they have grown, that they are the number one in the world. They have even done it during a job interview which makes you want to work for them while in reality they don't even listen to their employees when they have suggestions or feedback.

Pros

There are no pros if I did not get hired

Cons

Pay advertised was not accurate * Lack of transparency in compensation * Wasted time and travel expenses I had a very frustrating experience with the hiring process. I attended the interview and was told my performance was “perfect,” which made it seem like I was a strong candidate. However, the role was advertised at a minimum of $30/hour, and later I was told the actual pay was closer to $20/hour. That’s a major discrepancy and feels very misleading. On top of that, I ultimately received a rejection despite the positive feedback. Between the misleading pay and the outcome, this process felt inconsistent and unprofessional. I also spent time and money on travel (gas) to attend the interview, which makes the experience even more frustrating. Overall, this felt like a waste of time and could have been avoided with clearer and more honest communication upfront.
