Pros

Interesting industry. Potential if management can "healthily" mature.

Cons

Values such as integrity, strong work ethics, in-depth/detailed engagement, and dedication are being replaced with a focus on "looking good" and strategizing to "position". Newly introduced performance ranking system combined with staff-disengaged management is driving top performers/high-value employees to competitors and other industries. Performance ranking system also naturally encourages management to either retain low performers or issue low ratings to high performers to fill in blanks on rating scale. Expectation is that company tenure will be negatively impacted by costly attrition as those choosing to "work" instead of "position" and "self-promote" seek employment elsewhere.

Pros

a good start to the world of clinical research. it is very hard to start working as a CRA with no experience and without a cra course. In Quintiles you can start working with no experience and you don't have to do the course and pay extra money and get promoted

Cons

a lot of work with lots of extra hours, low salary

Pros

+ Work / Life balance in most non-consulting positions + Death-march projects are rare to non-existent. Putting your career on cruise-control is possible while still inching up the compensation ladder. + Benefits + In all but one role I've been in, the immediate co-workers and managers watch your back

Cons

- Career advancement is slow paced; much like the environment. - Autonomy has to be fiercely fought for and defended at every turn. - Technologist culture is still stuck back in the 80's, but at least now pays lip service to modernity. - Sr. Management still has no good way to accurately value knowledge workers. In-sourcing to India is an overall improvement vs outsourcing, but still can't compare to real, co-located development teams in the US and EMEA where the majority of development is done. - Many of the highest value employees have found that the only way to get proper compensation is to leave and come back, or leave and become a consultant; many just simply leave.
