Pros

The people at PAREXEL are very straight-forward and great co-workers. The company has grown a tremendous amount over the past few years - but infrastructure has not kept pace. This provides an opportunity for people willing to apply themselves to improve operations and get noticed. More than 25% of jobs are filled internally.

Cons

The work pace is fast and the hours can be long - especially if you are in a global position. Senior Management could communicate better with their employees in the business unit.

Pros

PAREXEL is very decentralized and employees work efficiently all over the globe. Meetings are mostly teleconferences and are brief and to the point. Employees all cooperate and try to get the job done with the resources available. Get your work done and the rest of your life is all yours.

Cons

As a service provider salaries are on the low side, but then less is expected. There is little to no real management or organization other than financials. Its hard to advance or be noticed in the organization and rewards are few. Many find their niche and are happy for years and years. Others, more ambitious soon grow frustrated and move on.
