Pros

Its a great place to get experience. Lots of young people who are eager to learn. There is a lot of opportunities to work in different departments and types of research groups.

Cons

Even for a contract research organization, they pay very little to their employees. Their HR team is pretty small, and they don't make any exceptions to their established pay grades.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
