Pros

None! If there is anything - it may be flexible timing...you should be 24 hr on call anyway!

Cons

Sweatshop work environment Difficult to demonstrate ownership of work - your time is always divided among different projects Management is useless, does not "devote" as much time as programmers to work, often has no understanding of the work No prospects for growth, no bonus, increments probably if you're ready to be "married" to your job Management keeps asking if you have even a "couple of hours" of time and by that they mean a "couple of hours on top of the 12-14 hours" you're expected to work on a regular basis New hires are not properly onboarded, trained or given a lead time before they're expected to conjure fabulous results over a short timeline Extremely stressfull work environment....stay away unless you don't have any other option!

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.
