Pros

Employees have great work ethic, reliable, supportive and positive. Awesome training opportunities and well-deserved promotions (but salary is still under market price by at least 20%). I'd recommend to those starting in the clinical research industry.

Cons

No work life balance, employees are underpaid: I've seen multiple people in various positions who left the company with 20-30% increases in salary with their new company

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)
