Pros

Junior staff get on really well. Company invested in top IT systems to make the job more interesting. In the UK, Bellshill office the one to go to due to more experienced caring management.

Cons

Inexperienced senior staff with little regard to staff in Cambridge, leading to poor retention and over stretched staff. Due to very poor reputation in the industry only inexperienced staff join the company with experienced staff keeping well away. Any staff with an alternative to the PPD view in this department is not listened to and so things never change for the better. WFH is very difficult to get, even one day a week in this department due to trust issues. Senior staff lack CRO experience outside PPD resulting in poor decisions. Promotion is based on who and not what you know.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
