Pros

Salary was good. The most senior mgmt seem to think money will keep people despite the work environment. Training is also excellent.

Cons

Line managers across the board are terrible. There may be a few that are okay, but that is not the norm. They are negative and highly critical. Line managers should be helpful and supportive. PAREXEL management is a team of bullies. The company needs to clean house and start over.

Pros

Good salary. Company is a leader in their field. Does well in the stockmarket.

Cons

No real leadership. People are given roles that they are not qualified for. Focus is on MONEY, not what is best for the customers.

Pros

good salary and that's about it.

Cons

My experience was incredibly bad. I was left on my own to learn the company's specifics. I was an experienced CRA working from home in Canada. I was asked to cover the entire USA and was taking between 6 - 10 planes per week to go here and there and replace people on sick leave for depression. Extremely heavy workload and no support whatsoever. Furthermore, the company did not reimburse my expenses despite me being on time to submit reports. as a result I was stuck in Pittsburg with a corporate credit card loaded (50000$US). I was not able to travel all week on my own credit so I returned home and they refused to pay for the plane ticket and my fare. In addition to that, the credit card not being paid on time resulted in bailiff at my home to have me pay the bill. I did not pay for the credit card but had to pay 6000$ fees for the bailiff... this was totally awful, disrespectful and very frustrating.
