Pros

Heavy investment in technology and training that is better than most CROs. Good channels of communications and support of activities that enable normal operations to proceed normally.

Cons

Periods of high activity and low activity that can work difficult for long range planning. Still significant level of decision making is held by a few at the highest level.

Pros

Order is the dominant theme at this company . If you enjoy order, then you will thrive in this environment . There are no "Imagineers" here . The titles are as strictly defined as military ranks and promotions follow a prescribed sequence. Employee reviews are done using a well defined process . There is money, so external training is provided in addition to the internally managed company training . Discounted tickets to various area events are offered . There is a sense that upper management is being careful by slowing down spending as the economy slowed and informing the staff as well .

Cons

If you do not like order, then this is not the place for you . The company defines Flex-time as 9 to 5 or 7 to 3 , take your pick . If you exercise your option to use Flex-time, you will be chastised since your department does not observe company Flex-time . There is also no dress down Friday. Business casual must be adhered to . The employees are very center to right wing since many of them live in New Hampshire .
