Pros

Loved all my co-workers within project management!! New hires really worked with one another, bounced questions off one another. Benefits were also very good.

Cons

Resourcing and allocation, work hours were long at times. Mentor program for new employees would have also been helpful at the time I started.

I second the review of the "Deeply Concerned Firecrest Employee”

Pros

There are great people at every level apart from most of Senior Management. There are good sports and social and personal fitness programmes, Since the turn of the year, there have been training courses made available to staff for personal and professional development.

Cons

I entirely agree with every con submitted by the “Deeply Concerned Firecrest Employee”. I believe it is no coincidence whatsoever that, with the exception of the two reviews from a few years back, all the reviews up until about a year ago were overwhelmingly positive, as it was at that time that a new senior management team began to make its presence felt within the organisation. These people, with few exceptions, have done little but damage to the company. Good people at every level are fed up and leaving in droves, not simply because they have better options elsewhere, but because they cannot stomach the incompetence, and in some cases the sheer aggressiveness and lack of respect shown towards the company's employees and ideals by many of the senior management team.

Pros

Great at what they do in Clinical Research, although the whole feel is strong brand minimal touch

Cons

Very poor IT department with realistic C level expectations, but with a dysfunctional and highly political support organisation. Insufficient time and budget given to actually solving long established issues, contributing the the self fulfilling perception of IT within a fast moving and Professional organisation
