Pros

It's a job...and they pay on time. The office is in a decent location and is close to major freeways.

Cons

The management is lousy. People are hired and fired at will. Walking around the office, you can smell the sense of dread from people worried about their jobs and about their managers finding something to be upset about. There is a dog eat dog mentality that I have never seen. People are mostly miserable and the company is on it's way into the gutter due to mismanagement. Upper level decision makers are emotional and unpredictable resulting in an atmosphere where workers walk on egg shells. I cannot emphasize this enough, YOU CAN BE FIRED AT WILL AND FOR NO REASON AT ALL! In addition, this page used to contain 50+ reviews and it suddenly does not anymore. This company is filling the review section with fake reviews! DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! Overall, they have a slimy business model and if you respect yourself, try to find work somewhere else. Also, they make everyone sign a non-compete that is very broad and lasts TWO YEARS! If they fire you, you won't be able to work for two years in the industry!

Pros

Extraordinary leadership, starting at the very top. Uma Sharma is in a league of her own: simply a master class in visionary leadership. Her direct team is approachable, engaged, and transparent. You’re encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and share ideas — and you are heard. There’s a clear sense of direction and purpose. Teams are aligned and focused on delivering meaningful results. Issues are addressed without fear; success is celebrated.

Cons

None that I can think of; the culture is truly remarkable.

Pros

Co-workers were functional experts and delivered timely work.

Cons

Was dissuaded almost to the point of apprehension to follow up with functional groups as "they are the experts" and expected to meet timelines and know their business. This is not the way I have managed at other companies where I kept myself in the dark and assumed things were going great until I heard otherwise. At the sime time was being asked questions I had wanted to follow up for my own knowledge to begin with. Push is for PMs to enter new business opportunities, conduct KOMs, log revenue and move to next project, create basic project plan and timeline and resource, conduct KOM and move on, repeat. No actual FTE to manage the project post KOM hardly at all. Assigned about 25-30 studies at a time to conduct KOMs with, take revenue and have about an hour a week budgeted to manage. Poor onboarding where shown new processes once or twice then felt like a bother to even ask again after that in the beginning. Really should give it one star but Co-workers were good.
