Pros

Vacation for new employees starts at 3 weeks, that's good.

Cons

it's a boys club. They will tell you there is diversity and inclusion but the bottom line is, middle management is common for women. They also get paid less than me. Would know since some employees make more than I do.

Pros

Convenient location, decent pay, good physical working environment. Can be good work-life balance depending on your project/management/department. Depending on your goals, it can be a great place to coast.

Cons

Beware: they do screen monitoring of every single employee despite what they say in their handbook (with playback feature, of course). Dishonest. Parexel is a package-company: they purchase a lot of software packages; no problem with that, in my view, but if you're hired because you're an excellent Java developer, you should be informed you won't do any Java work at all, but Rather Pega or Informatica or whatever. Very dishonest.
