Pros

I happen to have a really great line manager. Work life balance is good. One WFH day. Flex schedule (you can pick your hours). A great place to gain experience as they will hire with no prior clinical experience.

Cons

Paid very little in comparison to other CROs. Promotion based which is ok, but the yearly raises are small so if you're looking to move fast and make good money, this isn't the place. Office morale is low because they have cut back so much on budget. Also a lot of tasks within this position have been taken away from American employees and outsourced to India, Mexico and Bulgaria.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
