Pros

Supportive team culture and collaborative colleagues often highlighted. Flexible working arrangements (remote/hybrid) reported for many roles. Structured training programs that are useful for career development, especially for early‑career professionals. Good experience and exposure to clinical research work, helpful for building monitoring or data roles.

Cons

Promotions can be slow, and some report limited merit increases or bonus culture. Some roles (especially early career) may feel repetitive or lack clear advancement pathways. Heavy workloads and evolving internal processes can lead to burnout for some employees

Pros

A few nice people. That's it.

Cons

"With Heart" is a joke. This company does not care about its employees. Those that have been there for a number of years seem to be brainwashed into thinking this culture is normal and that this company cares about them. Parexel likes to make employees feel like they are just lucky to be there. Senior Leadership lacks management and people skills and are quick to throw employees under the bus to protect themselves. Probably because for many of them this is the only company they've ever worked for. This accounts for the high school clique-like culture. The workload is ridiculous for the pay and expectations are constantly shifting. The only thing Parexel cares about is money. The company is overloaded with ridiculous metrics. It's practically all you will have time to do. The most miserable place I've ever worked.
