      Pros

      Very nice, well educated and engaged colleagues. Very interesting domain.

      Cons

      Senior management constantly lays off people (experts, knowledge carriers who are indispensable for the company) without any idea of the consequences - for the fired employees, but also for the colleagues left behind in a chaos. Outdated rank and yank performance concept still in place. Senior management seems to have no interest in clinical research, only in return of investment.

      Pros

      Can work from home 2x a week. Depending on your manager they can be flexible with time.

      Cons

      Salary is low in comparison to other project manager position and work load is high. They are extremely understaffed in every department. As a PM you feel like the punching bag for your clients because other departments are so backlogged nothing gets done on time and there is nothing that you can do as a PM but continuously get yelled at by sponsors for things that are completely out of your control. Other departments won't even let you email them directly which is a huge handicap. It is an extremely frustrating job and doesn't seem like its going to get better any time soon.
