Pros
-Keeping up with technological innovation in the CRO industry -Benefits system is good -Infrastructure -Helpful and intelligent colleagues
Cons
-You can get rated down on performance evaluations even when your manager supports your evaluation, this is extremely insulting to employees and totally undermines the goals that employees are forced to set themselves in the performance process -Management blames lack of budget for not giving fair performance evaluations. Not good enough! Companies can choose how much to pay their workers. -Bureaucratic approach to change management destroys incentives to improve existing processes -Teams are under-resourced compared to the number of internal projects and the expected progress of each project -Pay rises are in line with inflation, no better or worse -Chance of promotion is extremely low unless you are senior management and benefiting from frequent restructuring of the department. For everyone else, fewer people promoted than actually deserve it. -People are leaving or looking to leave. Management has adjusted its ‘staff retention’ target from 95% to 90% because more people are leaving!
