Pros

You will probably join a great bunch of like-minded and friendly graduates. The social aspects of the training programme are also good.

Cons

How the course leaders dress up the first weeks as “training” is frankly hilarious. In reality they are judging how good you are, and will quickly fire whoever doesn't meet their standards without a care in the world. You can argue this is just normal for all jobs, but no, this is most peoples first job after university and its meant to be a 12-month programme, and within a matter of weeks I saw a handful of graduates break down in tears. Their confidence was shot to bits due to the pettiness of some of the “constructive feedback” - including how people look and act which is outside their control, I will say. I voluntarily left during the 12-month programme (along with a couple others) and it was the best decision I ever made. The pay is bottom of the barrel, the hours are long (they expect more than 9-5), the work is tedious, you have to track everything you do to 15-minute periods (O yes - fun!) the management is nonexistent, the pressure is high, HR couldn't give a toss about any of your complaints because they'll just side with the manager, the list goes on. By far the worst job I've ever had, and if you're a graduate I highly recommend not pursuing this.

Pros

Great company to work for that has a lot of connections to big and small pharma companies.

Cons

No cons at the moment except contracts can end at any time . But they will get you on another one.

Pros

I’ve been really fortunate in my experience here. The clients I work with are genuinely kind and collaborative, and my colleagues are truly wonderful to work alongside. I know not everyone may have the same experience, but I feel lucky to work with such great people. The benefits are also a strong positive. There’s a generous 401(k) match, overall benefits have been good in my experience, and the unlimited PTO policy is a meaningful perk that offers a lot of flexibility.

Cons

Advancement opportunities can sometimes depend heavily on the revenue associated with your client or account, which may limit growth for those supporting smaller or less prioritized business areas. Additionally, there can be a perception of favoritism in certain situations, which may impact how opportunities and recognition are distributed. Promotion timing can be inconsistent and often depends heavily on the revenue impact of your account or role. Some employees may move up more quickly, while others can go several years without a promotion. Since there is not a consistent company-wide adjustment or merit cycle, salary progression is largely tied to promotion timing rather than regular annual increases.
