Pros

Established company with multiple business units, many experienced medical personnel with years of research experience, average work/life balance depending on account and time of the year, mid-level managers see the needs of the clients and employees, good place for a start in pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Cons

High turn-over within 2 years, few opportunities to advance without mid-level manager sponsorship, low to mid-range pay scale for industry, senior managers don't have interest in employees.

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )

Pros

The only pro is that they offer remote work.

Cons

I would give zero stars if I could, but since I can’t, I’m forced to give one. They seem to have layoffs almost every year. Their US-based pharmacovigilance team was also affected in 2024 and 2025. It really feels like a hire-and-fire culture.
