Pros

- Some nice coworkers at the company. I enjoyed working with a few of the people at the company.

Cons

-Management was very disinterested and toxic, this is the biggest problem. Strong blame culture on individuals when things go wrong. -The code is the worst I have seen in my professional career. Code review process was horrible, if you even got a CR at all. -Sweatshop culture. No work/life balance and frequent work demanded during off-hours. I was underpaid considerably compared to market rate. Poor benefits as well. -Leadership is opaque, flippant about goals, belligerent and talk more about their personal lives than the actual project. -No mentorship or training was available to me. -No one to voice concerns to. The head of HR, head of finance, and executive are all family.

Pros

the ceo likes to make fun of diversity equity and inclusion in private meetings

Cons

the company core leadership all come from a company called pharmacm and they maintain a high school-like clique culture if you are not part of what is essentially their tight-knit circle of friends you will be micro-managed and treated like a second class citizen training is non-existent you are expected to know the clinical trial industry and the minutia of the product within 60 days asking questions is forbidden
