Parexel Reviews

Pros

Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Was acquired by private equity company....now all focus is making financials look good by pushing higher and higher new business targets regardless of whether staff to do work sold, and eliminate PTO financial liabilities owed to employees. Trainwreck waiting to happen.

Pros

Flexibility working hour and annual leave can be used one hour unit

Cons

incompetent managers, low salary, no company benefit

Pros

Work can be interesting (if you are on those projects) Salaries are OK. Benefits are good - but they have been getting worse over the last few years (changing us vacation policy mid year was a total disaster) Plenty of experience in remote work.

Cons

Multiple years of layoffs Total disconnect between management and reality Seems to enjoy adding onto and changing process so nobody really knows what they are supposed to do and thus nothing actually seems to get done Totally unclear what Pamplona are really trying to accomplish. They overpaid for the company and seem to be struggling to find any sort of coherent strategy to get a return on their investment. Constant tension between Geographic areas. Lots of PowerPoint jockeys - there are only so many vaporous management school BS slide decks I can read in a day -

Pros

Salary is decent, some good people remain but most have left or gotten laid off. Bonuses were good but with the companies struggles I don't think will be seeing those for a long time. Can gain some good experience but highly dependent on if you work on Enterprise accounts or Biotech accounts. Would advise you to push for Enterprise. Biotech PLs have it worse.

Cons

Terrible leadership from the top. Example, the CFO dressed as "Tiger King" and told everyone we're fine. One week later he was asking everyone to take voluntary pay cuts, otherwise layoffs would start. PLs are understaffed, your project load will be unmanageable. The systems are easily the worst I've ever worked in.

Pros

Good people, good place to gain experience.

Cons

Tons of work with unrealistic deadlines. Overly complicated process that slows things down. Limited opportunities for growth. Poor work/life balance and poor training.

Pros

Competitive salary and average health benefits

Cons

Lot of changes impacting your work life balance
