Pros

- A good opportunity to understand various aspects within the company - Dental and health benefits for employees

Cons

- Extremely low pay and little to no chance of progression. Little to no appreciation for hard work from senior management - The company has an extreme cult-like environment where those who speak up against it are ostracised and othered; this behaviour is encouraged by upper-management in the unit. The toxic working environment is well known throughout the company and HR/management have done nothing about it - 'Management' and 'directors' get paid a lot to not know or do much within their department, or what their direct reports.

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )

Pros

The only pro is that they offer remote work.

Cons

I would give zero stars if I could, but since I can’t, I’m forced to give one. They seem to have layoffs almost every year. Their US-based pharmacovigilance team was also affected in 2024 and 2025. It really feels like a hire-and-fire culture.
