Pros

The people are good, the work is interesting and almost always engaged. Most of the people are on your side, the LMs listen to you.

Cons

There seems to be no career offer to move up. Management always spouts about upward mobility, but from the bottom line it seems nonexistent. Policy used to be you can't move up further than 2 job levels. However HR is changing that. The perception and the talk is it's going to be much more difficult to move up. Pay is not competitive. Other CROs are poaching CTAs and CRAs because of their competitive compensation. The new health insurance is much more expensive than it used to be. Changes happen so slow.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
