Pros

Great Benefits Flexible- ability to work from home If given the time, the ability to learn about the industry from the different types of projects assigned to.

Cons

Not a 9 to 5 job- overtime is the norm. SOP's are a joke. They lack enough specificty for employees to be able to follow them. Lack of organization. Everyone is doing their own thing. Incompetent Management- Upper level management have been promoted based on social connections and not their ability to actually do their job.

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.
