Pros

pay health benefits vacation benefits roll over to new year some are great people to work with

Cons

Sr. Management cares more about stock price and their personal bonuses than their employees or clients Resourcing is "temporary challenge" that never is fixed - 1.5-2 FTE workload is expected (but not appreciated) over promise work/life balance - very difficult to achieve AND still meet expectations (but sr level management will repeatedly denies this) good vacation time but rarely approved to use - management attitude is it rolls over into new year and you'll get paid for when you leave the company metrics metrics metrics - systems systems systems - spend as much time reporting what you do as actually doing

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.
