Pros

The clients and projects are very interesting, and it is a great place to join, especially as a more junior employee - you will learn a lot. Being a larger CRO, there are lots of systems and quite a set way to do things - again this can be helpful to the more junior employee.

Cons

The salary is absolutely terrible, even by CRO standards. Considering where some of the offices are (e.g Cambridge in the UK), it is barely enough to live on for more junior roles. There are no discernable perks or benefits, and many of those are only available to long standing staff (e.g over 3 years), by which time most staff have left.

Senior CRA I

Pros

Supportive CM-CRA. Always willing to intervene with study issues as needed and listen to CRA concerns.

Cons

Support past the immediate CM-CRA is marginal. Much upper management discussion about employee support and a positive home/life balance, but I gave not found this to be the case. Performance evaluations are not always based on the overall employee performance and punishment by means of lower raises and bonuses results. Lower salary ranges compared to market values and lack of employee support are causing the loss of good CRAs
