Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay; reputable CRO; a great stepping stone to another role at a different company

Cons

VERY high turn over; expectation of 48 HOURS MINIMUM on a salary (with weeks of work where you go beyond 48); poor staff morale; unequal rules across the board (some people are allowed to work from home where others aren't); leaders are not progressive; employees are not valued; they clearly care more about money than staff; very limited diversity. Seriously don't work here. look elsewhere.

Solid Organization

Pros

I manage oncology trials and the studies are AMAZING and very meaningful to be a part of different novel therapies. My colleagues are knowledgeable, I'm valued, and able to bounce ideas of off them.

Cons

I'm constantly allocated across multiple different studies and although the work is exciting it is intense. Resourcing - I get anxious when I don't have all the tools/key personnel to help me manage a trial. I felt at times I over-exerted myself to ensure that the sites I work with did not see our internal resource shortcomings.

Syneos is synonymous for a lack diversity and growth.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Cash per diem.

Cons

Overworked. No care about burnout. No room for bonuses if not exceeding days onsite 12/mo. No help from management on onboarding or help on how to use various outdated softwares. IT and HR tickets take days to complete, sometimes without resolution because their metrics are hurt by open tickets. Upper management pushes diversity lines but do not see any room to grow if you're colored. More Caucasian men in management and executive than women or colored people. Just seems like a bad environment for those of color, as you get comments on slow work, less quality. Even though metrics show otherwise. Just another CRO like all the others. No room to grow if you have melanin.
