Pros
As a pre-health major wanting to transition into a business career after graduation, it seemed unlikely that I would find a position that would utilize much of my degree. However, I was fortunate enough to find a company where my research experience and STEM coursework are great assets. Because of my degree, I was able to better understand the intricacies of specific clinical trials as well as the clinical trial process as a whole.
Cons
As an early-stage company, there was not a formal training period or process. Although I always had other team members available to provide support and answer questions, I quickly began being tasked with real responsibilities. This was beneficial in that I learned very rapidly, but it also made me more concerned that I would make a mistake in the first few weeks after starting the role.
