Pros
- Helping people who are struggling - Being a part of a field that's revolutionizing psychiatry - Good middle management
Cons
- Insane workload (there's never getting caught up - you always have stuff to be doing which is stressful) - The management they brought in to "correct" the company had more bad than good consequences. I'm unsure if they are still in their position, but when I worked there, they were new (like me) but very micro-managing and did not understand how a good employee/employer relationship worked. The middle management was very nice and approachable. - They do not actually believe their company values (the owner visited us and mentioned how they'd love if we could embrace a company culture that was more accepting about employees own experiences with the drugs we run clinical trials on); people who spoke about their use were discriminated against. - I took a brief break under the agreed upon notion that I'd return in a week after regaining my health. I was let go halfway through this "mental health break". I could tell my supervisor cared about me, HR absolutely did not - they simply lied to my face to avoid any potential "crash out" an employee would have if being let go under my circumstances. That experience has forever hurt my trust in HR/companies that only see people as liabilities or money-makers.
