      Low pay if you work your way up, difficult to get promotions, different standards EU vs. NA.

      Pros

      Benefits, Week off for Christmas, teammates you work with on a daily basis are really great. Not a whole lot of “pros” as with previous management things were ALLOT better.

      Cons

      Terrible management and no matter how many concerns you have it falls on death ears. No room for growth unless you are a master manipulator just like the management team currently over the department.

      Advice to Management

      Get out with the old and in with the new! There’s nothing worse having hard dedicated workers that will leave because of less than average management. People leave managers not companies!

      I have been working at INC Research full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Really great training and career development opportunities.
      Open door policy on any given issue.
      Transparency with quarterly goals, revenue, and company future/ outlook.
      Internal Quality Issue tracking database for all study-related issues and audits.
      Indication/ Therapeutic area-focused business units for clinical staff all the way up to ClinOps directors. Everyone is approachable.
      Diligent focus on task assignment and accountability; encourages "can do it" mentality and provides tools necessary.

      Cons

      No annual bonus for Clinical staff not completing monitoring visits. There are various incentives for conducting observation visits and the days spent at an IM or face to face visit with a Sponsor, but it really doesn't compare to an annual bonus. Agree CRAs should take priority in compensation/ bonus structure, but to only hand out merit increases each year to everyone else is a bit of a bummer.

      I worked at INC Research full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Had good employee benefits package, fair employee compensation rates and reasonably good work environment.

      Cons

      Lack of adequate supervision of managerial positions holders and inadequate attention to issues/complaints from direct reports.

      Advice to Management

      Should have a better oversight/supervision of supervisors/managers and review/investigate issues/complaints raised by employees concerning their work with open mind.

      Pros

      Company closes for a week in December; decent PTO; nice coworkers; good insurance benefits; semi-flexible work schedule; option to work from home once a week.

      Cons

      Unskilled managers; company is cheap with employee events; no sabbatical for non-CRAs; workload is not evenly distributed among employees (some are more overworked than others); management sets unreasonable expectations (not enough hours in a week to meet all of the demands they place on employees); salary is not competitive.

      Pros

      Growing Company chance to be part of that growth.

      Cons

      Far too many politics and posturing for rank. Lack of teamwork and collaboration within IT. Poor Work / Life balance and culture.

      Advice to Management

      Focus more on fewer goals and get something done vs promising on everything and delivering on nothing.
