Pros

Good entry to the CRO industry, income above industry average, working from home allowed

Cons

Huge work volume, high employee turnover rate and they hire less people than actually left the company so the remaining employees needs to make extra efforts to deal with the daily tasks, no work-life balance, no overtime compensation, sr. Management cares more about metrics than quality, no support from directors

Pros

Flexible work hours, middle management tries to keep staff content.

Cons

Fractured IT solutions. Historically elected not to invest in proper IT admin solutions and now reaps the consequences. Extreme amounts of work are done manually instead of automatically Extremely slow to improve processes.
