Pros

Not much. If you say yes to everything they will like you. Get experience there and then jump ship. Not much else

Cons

No advancement opportunities- they hire leaders from outside and are usually friends of the director. Dictator leadership style. Do not recognize leaderships part in very high turnover. Other CROs have better morale and opportunity for advancement.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
