Pros

The main advantage of working there is that they provide monitoring training and work experience to brand new CRAs. But there’s better companies out there that provide the same. The company CRAs are very nice people and support each other but don’t expect any support from line management, project management and the support team personnel based in the USA.

Cons

- Significantly below market salaries (up to 25% below market) and the annual bonus (about 5%) doesn’t make up for the difference - Extremely high turnover from burnout - Office is constantly understaffed - All personnel are extremely overworked - Toxic work culture - No work life balance - Overall Bad and toxic management that doesn’t take accountability for their mistakes and pushes the blame on others - Travel perks are good but travel policy makes it difficult to benefit from them

Pros

N/A can’t think of one.

Cons

The timing of recent layoffs shortly before the holidays created significant stress and uncertainty among remaining employees. While I understand that difficult business decisions sometimes need to be made, announcing large scale terminations during this period understandably caused fear, anxiety, and decreased morale for those who were left wondering if they might be next. This atmosphere made it difficult for employees to focus fully on their work and enjoy what is typically a meaningful time of year. Greater transparency around the reasoning, future plans, and reassurance for remaining staff would have helped reduce speculation and emotional strain. During the recent snowstorm, employees were required to use their quarterly wfh allotment or borrow from a future quarter despite hazardous travel conditions and the fact that many roles can be fully performed remotely. While I understand the importance of maintaining consistent policies, situations involving extreme weather feel exceptional and create unnecessary stress for employees who are still prepared to work productively from home while prioritizing safety. This situation highlighted an opportunity for improvement. Offering a complimentary remote day during extreme conditions would demonstrate stronger support for employee well being while allowing business operations to continue smoothly.
