Pros

There aren't any I can think of. I only have negative memories.

Cons

I'd previously posted a review which was removed from Glassdoor. It seems all reviews prior to the name change from Calyx to Perceptive have been removed from this company page. Calyx as it was when I worked there was dreadful. A completely out of touch C-suite who would constantly pat their own backs and not be honest with their employees. The day after Calyx's acquisition by a venture capital firm was announced on a townhall, I was brought into a meeting with my manager and department head and let go for business reasons, told to log off immediately and not come back. I also have written confirmation from them after going through ACAS that they didn't follow the full legal process to let me go, as I wasn't allowed anyone from my union in my meeting with management. Salary was poor compared to the market. Upper management also wanted nothing to do with process improvements. Systems were old, complicated and there were no frameworks on how departments should interact with eachother. It was a free for all which led to delays on project deliverables.

Thank you for following us on Glassdoor. With the merger and creation of Perceptive neither of the previous companies are now on Glassdoor. It sounds like you left Calyx over 2 years ago. In the last 2 years a lot has changed. We’ve had more than 11K trials implemented, 800 approvals supported and have 50 years of experience. We hope you continue to follow us on social media for updates on how we serve science from pre-clinical to late-phase imaging solutions and randomisation and trial supply management (RTSM).

Pros

My coworkers were all great. Being a CRO, a good variety of studies came through, giving me exposure to a variety of imaging modalities and study designs. The work is varied and interesting.

Cons

There has been some recent turnover and company structure changes due to the company recently being acquired.

Pros

Supportive co-workers make it worthwhile to stay Variety in therapeutic areas make it interesting to learn Customization in study design allows for a wide range of exposure to different study set-up needs Relatively generous PTO plan

Cons

No transparency from leadership Stressful deadlines/unrealistic expectations Lack of proactive communication between departments Most departments are currently understaffed Onboarding takes a long time Recent merger has caused too many things to change all at once creating a lot of chaos in the organization in an effort to 'streamline' Benefits have gone downhill over time Lots of overtime to keep up with study demands
