      Pros

      Diverse work environment. Has all the advantages of both a small company and a large corporation, e.g. great benefits but you can still get get to know the people you work with.

      Cons

      PAREXEL as a company is in a difficult spot, smaller than their biggest competitors to gain efficiencies from economies of scale but still more bureaucratic than their smaller competitors.

      Pros

      Excellent "first job" for someone right out of college or someone w/ limited corporate experience. The company is full of young motivated people and the opportunities for advancement are HUGE in whatever direction you see fit. Easy to get along w/ everyone. Excellent place to build a resume. Excellent springboard if you chose to move into pharma. I came in at an entry level and within a year or two, they had me travelling internationally and meeting w/ clients. The basic job requirements are easy and provide one with excellent opportunity to make a name for themselves. Failing here rarely has to do w/ ability, but rather motivation. The job is as good as you want to make it. excellent time off, excellent benefits, easy, relaxed atmosphere. while we learn slowly, there is the occasional "eureka" moment which is encouraging.

      Cons

      - For a company that has a massive legal department, we sure are scared of the college kid suing us for wrongful termination. Duds stick around at the expense of the good ones. - We tend to affirm a culture of sensitivity when it comes to hearing bad news. occasionally, we like to shoot the messenger when the message is unpleasant. we need a thicker skin when it comes to accountability, feedback, and criticism. - we LOVE initiatives. we aren't happy unless some individual is working on some individual goal that is causing others to have to do more work. cut it out. i'd rather miss the one good idea in ten that comes out of these things than entertain 9 miserable endeavorers that we all know will fail / lose support / get out on hold / change in a year.
