Pros

Good place to get your foot in the door after graduating, if you are interested in pursuing a career with the biotech industry. Sadly, that is the only good thing I can say about this place.

Cons

1. Cube space stinks, Stale environment 2. Cranky and unfriendly co-workers. Some are very immature. 3. Evident Cronyism in regard to promotions 4. Salary doesn't even make the cut to the standard base of what it should be

Pros

A few nice people. That's it.

Cons

"With Heart" is a joke. This company does not care about its employees. Those that have been there for a number of years seem to be brainwashed into thinking this culture is normal and that this company cares about them. Parexel likes to make employees feel like they are just lucky to be there. Senior Leadership lacks management and people skills and are quick to throw employees under the bus to protect themselves. Probably because for many of them this is the only company they've ever worked for. This accounts for the high school clique-like culture. The workload is ridiculous for the pay and expectations are constantly shifting. The only thing Parexel cares about is money. The company is overloaded with ridiculous metrics. It's practically all you will have time to do. The most miserable place I've ever worked.
