Pros

- Had great staff members to serve as managers and mentors, at least until they started firing them.

Cons

- Laid a huge contingent of the company off over the past two years, including high performers and senior employees. - Not only did they overhire, but they overfired judging by the fact that they later attempted to rehire some of the laid-off staff. - Never trust companies who serve at the mercy of private equity companies, you are one boardroom decision away from being cut along with most of your colleagues no matter how well you perform. - Product is antique by modern IRT/RTSM standards. Without a major revamp, they will continue to lose ground to more forward-thinking competitors.

Pros

My coworkers were all great. Being a CRO, a good variety of studies came through, giving me exposure to a variety of imaging modalities and study designs. The work is varied and interesting.

Cons

There has been some recent turnover and company structure changes due to the company recently being acquired.

Pros

Supportive co-workers make it worthwhile to stay Variety in therapeutic areas make it interesting to learn Customization in study design allows for a wide range of exposure to different study set-up needs Relatively generous PTO plan

Cons

No transparency from leadership Stressful deadlines/unrealistic expectations Lack of proactive communication between departments Most departments are currently understaffed Onboarding takes a long time Recent merger has caused too many things to change all at once creating a lot of chaos in the organization in an effort to 'streamline' Benefits have gone downhill over time Lots of overtime to keep up with study demands
