Pros

Pay is fine, but they don’t value or respect you. Your desired career path means nothing in certain BUs.

Cons

It’s very possible you will be stuck doing something that only requires a brain the size of a walnut for your entire time here.

Pros

Great opportunity for entry-level sales reps to gain valuable sales experience. Additionally, seasoned reps can find a variety of opportunities to develop relationships with various pharma companies.

Cons

Well, it is contract and honestly for some people that is concerning. I have worked for Syneos about 6 years in two different stints on two different contracts. Both of the contracts lasted longer than expected(the first was only slated to last a year and the company hired 80% of the sales force to work directly for them). The second contract, i am still on. I am in the 5th year of what was supposed to be a 3 year contract. Pay may be less than expected and the benefits are not like a pharma company. Also, you have to consider that when a contract ends, you do have to work to get on the next one(networking and emailing former collegues etc.).

Pros

Salary was somewhat fair, however minimal bonuses / raises. Ultimately the toxic culture outweighs nearly every potential pro

Cons

- Poor people management and lack of accountability at the management level - Disrespectful communication from leadership, including being talked down to and undermined in front of others - Feedback culture feels punitive rather than constructive - Employees are not supported or treated with empathy during layoffs - HR processes are inconsistent and require excessive follow-up, essentially nonexistent
