Parexel Employer Reviews

Lousy management, hostile work environment.

I have interacted with Human Resources once in 10 years and they were clueless.

I don't even know who my HR rep is.

They don't seem to care.

Parexel is a great place for new graduates in the healthcare field. They will definitely help you gain experience.

This company seems to be having major difficulty in handling their recent growth. I recommend avoiding this company at all costs.

Management by crisis does not use planning. Poor compensation.

Very fast paced, demanding and task oriented. I learned all aspects of the organization in the 4 years I was employed. Management very strict and keeps everyone on task and expects complete accountability for your job duties. The hardest art of the job was to keep up with ongoing training and job deliverable
The most enjoyable is the feeling at he end – more... of the day you will have exceeded at something value to the organization, world and yourself. – less

worst place to work .No appreciation what so ever
all based on favouritism.u get the promotion if u kiss ..operational managers.

It can be a good place to work in terms serving as an entry point into the pharmaceutical industry. The fundamental problem is that the work environment is fraught with office politics, and poor management. Line or middle management is poor, there is no managerial presence in terms of guidance or direction for the employ, essentially management throws – more... people at projects and provides little or no guidance. Essentially, it is a sink or swim environment. Not recommended as a place to work. – less

Great company all around, great people and enviroment.
- Ability to work remotely
- Company parties
- No dress code
- Ability to work with client face to face

The department was small and cut throat. My Manager used me to do all the work and took the credit and took the promotion. I heard that Other departmentments do not run like the one i worked on and i heard that our department was not well liked by other departmentments because we were unfriendly. I can definately understand that. I have seen manager – more... mistreat staff that they did not like so that they would quit. even. heard managers talk bad about staff. Negative environment and it comes from management. The management spies on staff and it i was told tht by a manager. Managers have no management experience – less

This is a great place to start out in Clinical Research. I have always been able to rely on my PAREXEL knowledge.

PAREXEL is a great company to build your foundation in the Clinical field. There are many people who know a lot about Regulations and how to handle situtations.

What PAREXEL lacks is the ability to cross train and everything you do is very departmental.

Parexel is a great company to work for. One's experience is contingent upon personality, and overall professional skill set. Co-worker are extremely friendly.

entering of data into data base, audit batches upon completion.

Great place to start a career, but that is about it. Zero development or leadership from uppers. They expect turnover, and you're just a number.
People are a bit "off" there too for the most part...

It is great to work at PXL since it does help me to learn the Clinical research acpesct

10 - 12 hour work days, limited training. Unrealistic expectation, poor upper management. Processes are lengthy as so you cannot get approval for sites in a reasonable time frame. Turn-over was constant, there were new people in my 8 people area withing 1 week after I was employed, like a revolving door. I did experience Canadian site approval (on my – more... own - with no support from management - via trial and error - errors were counted against me as well as language barriers with NON US managers). In enjoyed the cube height. My personal manager was great, but probably had limited decision making. – less

I loved working here. The participants were interesting and I learned a lot about research.

This company has the poor management, training, systems and procedures in place at the expense of employees and specially customers. You are basically an overworked paper pusher.

Management is incredibly BAD and they expect you to work 16 hours per day and be on call 24/7. Additionally, they use employees as puppets to blame for their BAD systems and – more... procedures when being accountable to the customers. – less

Easy well managed environment. Company is grow for sure but people are over worked.

Highly recommend this employer. Nice place to work, people were super
