Pros

The training program is very helpful and innovative. In the 2 years I have been employed at PPD I have received a pretty nice salary increase twice, and was promoted from CRA II to Senior CRA. If you put forth the effort and complete tasks/goals on time you tend to be recognized for it. I have met a lot of nice people here, and my line manager seems genuinely concerned about me as an employee.

Cons

You get a lot of PTO, but project timelines seem to get in the way of taking the time off. Dependent on the study, CTMs tend to micromanage monitors.

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)
