Pros

Great people, good benefits, not micro managing, ability to work from home as a LM. Nice training department!

Cons

stay away from HR; they are not there to look out after you. Totally believed in the company values, and was ready to retire from here. HR has a CYA attitude instead of being an advocate to the staff. It's a shame. No one trusts HR and does their best to stay away from them. They don't view the entire picture; just snapshots in time. You work really hard here....no such thing as a 40 hour week.

Pros

Personally satisfied with salary, people are nice to work with, and office politics almost non-existant if you're decentralized

Cons

They work you to the bone. Routinely put in 50-60 hours per week, project allocation doesn't reflect reality. You'll find yourself doing others' work because accountability can be missing at times.

Pros

Working from home in theory was great., the days just never ended.

Cons

The work load was excessively heavy. The position went from 90k to 78k to 70k demotions across the board or leave. same job, more work, less pay. Now they are hiring people with no experience to do the work of senior CRAs. And the stock goes up. I would have concern for the data. You can only work people so much and using people with no clinical experience I a recipe for disaster.
