Pros

The local Stirling office. Full of a great bunch of good, smart and hard working people. The initial training and quick progression (for the first few years) to next level of job (if you have a good line manager) Getting to attend investigator meetings abroad. Bonus scheme (once you qualify and if you're marked highly enough at your review)

Cons

Lack of transparency and communication from the London and US headquarters. Promotions/transfers not fairly or professionally managed. Priority of professional development of the clinical operations team goes to London. This has lead to the unnecessary loss of a lot of good people, and a complete drop in morale. Personal development is dependent on your line manager. Even then, they do not have the final say.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
