Pros

Established company. Met great people who share the same frustrations and are the ones who will offer help. Great location, away from the city.

Cons

To many systems in place that do not work well with each other. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. It's sink or swim and many hours spent looking for answers within many different company based Senior and Line Managers unable to provide help or answers, due to their own workload or lack of knowledge. Many wasted hours looking up answers Finger pointing is common practice for Senior managers and leaders for their own mistakes. Work life balance becoming more and more non-existent. Super-users? Seriously, this is obsolete.

lots of changes being rolled out with limited transparency. contracting can be challenging. site payments and study closeout are areas that need improvement.
