Pros
Good place to gain Clin Ops experience and network with people from Big Pharm. Young overall workforce with lots of good, fun people so it can be an enjoyable place to work at times. Good benefits, lots of paid time off.
Kontras
Low pay relative to the industry and for the workload that is expected, poor inexperienced managers overwhelmed by workload, resulting in high turnover and employees moving into roles in which they are not qualified or prepared. Lots of internal politics. Promotions are based more on who you know and who a managers favorite is rather than who is the best for the job. Some managers promote their teams quickly and some take forever so if you get on a team with a Project Manager that promotes slowly, your advancement will be severely stunted. Senior Management does not communicate with nor seem to care about the people under them. They consistently overwhelm teams with work and long hours are expected to be worked week in and week out. If you are salaried you aren't compensated for these long hours. Senior management's lack of appreciation for mid-level employees ends up alienating those who shoulder the majority of the daily work load.
