Pros

It's a job. Pays the bills. You won't get bored because you will be overloaded with demands from every direction.

Cons

Expectations for CRAs are insane. Lots of protocols, lots of sites, lots of meetings, lots of non billable work assignments that take up a large proportion of your time. You can de-prioritize the non billable stuff, but it will count against you when you don't meet the deadline for...completion of Amgen character-building integrity learning modules, just as an example. One night I actually counted- I received 200 emails during the day- one day-, and about half of them required an actionable response. Just accept the fact that you will be in a no-win situation while you are employed here, and put your resume out. Get out before you are too burnt to look for other employment.

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.
