They give standard benefits, such as health care, dental and pension

Pros

Good stepping stone for entry level employees and ability to gain decent experience. Good health benefits. Flexible working environment and hours.

Cons

No room for advancement, poor salaries and very poor management. Parexel lies to clients stating that PAREXEL and PAREXEL Informatics are one company but this is not true. PI employees are treated poorly by Parexel employees and it is very demeaning. Many PI employees have left due to this culture. There is a huge amount of disconnect within the company ever since Parexel started to crush employees with so much corporate policy. The company continues to create new demands for employees but then lays more people off.
