Pros

good medical field experience, always work to do

Cons

rude coworkers and managers won't do anything to make them behave. harassment is common but nobody complains so nothing gets fixed. this is definitely a company that just cares about its own profits. They make billions but will sell you out for a nickel

Our team is very valuable to us here at Parexel, and Respect is one of our Core Values. It is concerning that you’ve experienced or witnessed harassment, and, if comfortable, I encourage you to send me a direct message at Tom.McGoldrick@Parexel.com with any further details.

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.
