Pros

Great place for career growth with a global CRO. Exposure to a wide range of areas and opportunities. Fast paced, client-focused. Able to network with people all over the world.

Cons

Depending on the clients you work with, projects can be stressful with long workhours and urgent deadlines. Some departments are siloed and not up to speed with the rest of the company. Cumbersome processes and systems make the work more complicated. Executive-level management not fully transparent. Massive layoffs company-wide affecting employees globally regardless of high performance or number of years of experience.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
