Pros

Work-life balance. No other pros.

Cons

Racism and bullying towards employees. Poor quality people with no professional behaviour or experience. Favoritism. Rellocation of unqualified staff from overseas when experienced people from within the UK were available. Lack of inclusion and lack of mixed cultures.

Parexel is committed to providing a safe and inclusive work environment and will never tolerate any form of discrimination, racism or hatred of any kind. Our culture of inclusion means that everyone is valued, respected and supported and this commitment extends beyond our internal teams to our patients, customers and partners. Our “We care” guiding principle and “Respect” core value are not hollow words; they were chosen carefully to speak to who we are as an organization and as a culture. We encourage our colleagues to speak out and raise any concerns with HR. No colleague should be made to feel that they do not belong or feel uncomfortable in the workplace.

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

A few nice people. That's it.

Cons

"With Heart" is a joke. This company does not care about its employees. Those that have been there for a number of years seem to be brainwashed into thinking this culture is normal and that this company cares about them. Parexel likes to make employees feel like they are just lucky to be there. Senior Leadership lacks management and people skills and are quick to throw employees under the bus to protect themselves. Probably because for many of them this is the only company they've ever worked for. This accounts for the high school clique-like culture. The workload is ridiculous for the pay and expectations are constantly shifting. The only thing Parexel cares about is money. The company is overloaded with ridiculous metrics. It's practically all you will have time to do. The most miserable place I've ever worked.
