Pros

There are some great people in Clin Ops and Data Management. I never thought I would leave.

Cons

All the great teams in the world cannot make up for hiring shortages, which force staff to cover much more than the 'official' 1.0 FTE . Experienced CRAs get placed on too many protocols with competing deadlines, sites are switched frequently and burn - out is a given.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
