Pros

Good way to gain industry experience, and pay is comparable to other CROs, but not a place to stay long term.

Cons

In my experience, projects can and do end abruptly with severance not a given, and some projects are full of,“Demi-God” leaders (commercial side) who bully field workers and offer limited opportunities to you based upon whether or not they “like you” as opposed to performance or length of employment. HR is a faceless department offering no protection for employees from this behavior. Company seems to be too large to adequately monitor actions of project leaders, and employees aren’t asked for feedback consistently, so nobody that can create change ever really knows what is going on. Turnover is high because transparency, integrity and trust are scarce. Insurance benefits are awful. (Aetna)

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
