Pros

- Salary negotiation - FSPP stocks invite - Unlimited PTO - Fairly Quick and easy Onboarding Process - Simple timesheet submissions - Lots of management resources available

Cons

- If you're dedicated to one sponsor you aren't too fond of, you're stuck with them - FSP 360 isn't truly an option for you to switch sponsors or projects if needed/wanted to - Double emails to check (CRO and Sponsor) - Double timesheets to submit (CRO and Sponsor) - Expense reports should be completed before your manager decides to take PTO - Unlimited PTO isn't truly accurate as you'll be swamped with work - Bonuses and yearly merit increases are not real so ask for a high salary during your interview

Pros

Incredible management, very communicative, most supportive and kind people i have ever worked with. They want to see you succeed on your contracts and are your safe space for questions and learning. I have never been more pleased with a company. Unlimited PTO

Cons

Most of their recognition is paid out in internal points instead of actual money

Pros

FSP work is great and feels stable, many of the people that work for syneos are very hard workers and have lots of experience in the industry

Cons

If your manager is not championing you, it is absolutely impossible to get salary increases/promotions. When promotions do occur, the compensation does not even come close to what it would be if you were an external applicant.
