Pros

literally none unless you think stealing time, being rude and being a number to a company is a pro

Cons

literally everything, this place is toxic

Pros

Great benefits (Generous PTO, 6% 401k match, HSA+high deductible option) Generally smart, hardworking, professional coworkers Exposure to wide array of therapeutic areas and different study designs Cleary defined role responsibilities for team members Flexible work time and completely remote roles (depending on role) Supportive people managers whose full time role is people management

Cons

SOP heavy with very little flexibility client-facing Too many systems for everyday work Focus on profitability to the detriment of fostering team culture/engagement (I recognize this may be team-specific) Employees must strongly advocate for themselves to get work-life balance. You must (learn to) be ok with there permanently being more work than you can possibly get done The value of 'intensity' can negatively impact employee work-life balance
