Pros

Great medical research experience. Great coworkers. Good benefits.

Cons

Management can use improvements. Hours scheduled do not match workload. They base pay off availability so someone doing less than you could be paid more than you. They promote who they like rather than the person best qualified for the jo or who has earned it based on merit.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
