Pros

Experience to different therapeutic areas

Cons

The training process is very confusing. Many SOPs and WIs are outdated, and there doesn’t seem to be any intention of providing current, relevant training. Instead, everything is lumped into the learning center, even when it’s no longer applicable. There is little sense of community, and you’re not provided with the resources needed to succeed. It often feels like you’re left to fend for yourself, and when you ask questions, support is limited—largely because employees are overworked. The culture lacks joy, and work-life balance is nearly non-existent at times. Personally, I don’t agree with this type of environment. I’ve seen other large institutions invest in their employees’ mental and physical health, recognizing that miserable employees produce miserable work. Unfortunately, that same care and effort doesn’t seem to exist here.

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
