Pros

Great salary, however, no maternity leave and strict policies surrounding workplace expenses. Central monitoring team is helpful.

Cons

Management at Syneos is horrible. Managers feed lies in interviews, then change their tune as soon as you start. Promotion opportunities are promised but limited. My LM was highly incompetent and I wish to never cross paths with them again in my career. Work-life balance is horrible. You will often work large amounts of overtime, do a lot of interstate travel and be asked to monitor 2-3x as much as expected.

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
