- "out, management gives into requests or wants of the thought leaders that aren't always feasible or that don't always make sense for a given trial or task...as one can imagine, this doesn't always bode well for the staff working on said trial or for management who at some point has to answer for the progress, mistakes, planning or timelines of a given trial." (in 14 reviews)
- "HR doesn't listen either and are of no help when an employee has an issue with a bad manager" (in 9 reviews)

- 1.0Feb 23, 2023FacultyCurrent Employee, more than 8 years
Pros
Affiliated with university, strong academic foundation
Cons
While the organization has made efforts to promote only a handful of minorities into leadership positions, it still feels like lip service when you take a look at the number of grants and opportunities that are shared among investigators. Still like a good ol’ boys country club. it is experienced by how they communicate and share opportunities among faculty and research teams. It is a tough environment to collaborate. recently, a lot of unhappy staff voiced disappointment for how minorities were implicitly excluded from activities or addressed differently compared to other peers. Echo the previous multiple reviews of difficult upward mobility and nepotism. Take a look a who gets promoted faster. Have heard complaints from research coordinators to faculty on lack of career mobility.
