Pros

Working from home, as long as the work is getting done. It pretty laid bad. There are some line managers, that will dump work. Even if I was three people I couldn’t get it done.

Cons

The endless self promoting of select individuals is enough to make you vomit. 99.999% of the staff go unrecognized for hard work and success. 0.0001% is recognized for no accomplishments nonsense culture things that don’t contribute to the job and it’s to their own promotions. They overdue the diversity and inclusion. Best move leaving this corporate culture

Pros

Well trained managers that empower you, truly listen to you, and only do well if YOU do well/ they provide resources and definitely offer development opportunities to those who want them AND have demonstrated they can maintain their scoped, regular duties at a high level of quality while working on special development projects Also unlimited RTO in US

Cons

no bonuses and too much focus/emphasis on how many years with *Parexel*, as opposed to how many years total you have been in the industry (ex doing site management at another CRO or Sponsor group )

Pros

The only pro is that they offer remote work.

Cons

I would give zero stars if I could, but since I can’t, I’m forced to give one. They seem to have layoffs almost every year. Their US-based pharmacovigilance team was also affected in 2024 and 2025. It really feels like a hire-and-fire culture.
