Pros

Projects are interesting Dealing with people in over 54 countries is very interesting Company is involved in cutting edge clinical research Pay is around industry average A lot of room for horizontal movement and promotions

Cons

Management expectations of hard working employees is too high. Low performers are allowed to stay low at the expense of the good workers Workload is intense and does not allow for work-life balance. Burn-out is frequent. Working 60 hours a week is not uncommon Some senior managers are borderline abusive in their language towards their employees

Pros

Health Insurance. But thats about it. For the amount of stress they give employees, probably they realise a good health insurance is mandatory.

Cons

Not a very healthy environment to work in. They don't set realistic timelines. Management excepts employees to be available round the clock . Quality is not a priority at all. All that matters is if the deliverable is made on time. It is of no concern if the deliverable is a garbage. Employees are not given enough respect and are expected not to have a personal life. Management is very weak in how they handle the things. They have lengthy meetings on "Lessons Learnt" but it is the Management who has to learn a lot from the mistakes they made previously.
