Pros

Good way to gain industry experience, and pay is comparable to other CROs, but not a place to stay long term.

Cons

In my experience, projects can and do end abruptly with severance not a given, and some projects are full of,“Demi-God” leaders (commercial side) who bully field workers and offer limited opportunities to you based upon whether or not they “like you” as opposed to performance or length of employment. HR is a faceless department offering no protection for employees from this behavior. Company seems to be too large to adequately monitor actions of project leaders, and employees aren’t asked for feedback consistently, so nobody that can create change ever really knows what is going on. Turnover is high because transparency, integrity and trust are scarce. Insurance benefits are awful. (Aetna)

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
