Pros

Goood benefits and company will pay you whatever you ask because they have ZERO luck of filling open positions. Avoid this place at all costs.

Cons

I can write a book for this company.. terrible management without planning of any resources, hire people with high hopes who soon realize after joining that it is a deep hole topped with french culture. Clinical operations dept is under resourced and over worked. Noone wants to stick around because of the bossy culture. There is no respect for each other in this hierarchical model. French office staff technically doesn’t do much except responding to emails after months... Clinical operations team have to take on variety of tasks from purchasing, QA, finance, etc. No team culture or spirit. Everyone is cutting each other to get things done or blame. Highly avoid this place. Even though looks good in first place with nice office in Cambridge, decent pay and benefits— highly avoid because you will want to leave company in next 6 months.

Pros

The recruiter that I worked with was wonderful and very in tuned with my career goals and the type of team I wanted to be a part of. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was transparent on which roles he felt would be a good match based on the leadership, team, and career aspirations.

Cons

I did not have any cons related to my experience.

Pros

None, I cannot think of one pro.

Cons

The worst experience in my 15 plus career in pharma. The managers are horrible, they work you to death and show zero appreciation. I was so thankful I was a temp, as I would never have wanted to be a full time after what I experienced. It's basically a hot mess of bullying by managers and the Sr. Director's have poor SVPs they report into so it makes sense they management style is horrid.
