Pros

They used to provide great training to become a CRA. Most of the clinical leads and many of the Line Managers were helpful, all it takes is one bad boss....ugh

Cons

As the others have observed, the folks bidding the projects are clueless as to how much man-power it takes to run a study. All the electronic databases on the planet will not replace humans. This company is too big for its britches.

Pros

Great benefits Wonderful co-workers (depends on your department)

Cons

low pay no training (all you do is read SOPs when you first start out) no career development (they ask you to indicate what trainings you would like to take to enhance job performance and absolutely no strides are made to get you this training) No structure or set procedures (everyone just does their own thing and there is no consistency between people performing the same tasks) Upper management has absolutely no clue as to what goes on with the actual employees who do the work. They just make these stupid decisions and changes and then everything falls apart. Then abruptly things are changed again and it's the same vicious cycle over and over again. They re-brand more times than I can count. There are way too many VPs at the moment. I completely lost track. Upper management people leave the company and come back a few months later as VP of this or that. I could go on and on seriously. If you are looking for a job where you can grow professionally look elsewhere because all you will get from parexel is bad habits that you don't want to take else where.
