Job
Project Associate II (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC – June 3, 2019
The job was not fully explained before hiring. Expected to perform tasks I was not trained for. People were good to work with and commute was not a problem
Pros
Did not meet expectation
Cons
wrong job
PRAhs is a breath of fresh air offering great training amd mentorship programs
Manager, Quality Oversight (Current Employee) – Evansville, IN – June 10, 2019
The support and encouragement from the team is unmatched providing the knowledge and expertise to have the confidence to work independently. My managers have been so supportive with my learning curve, as well as providing timely constructive feedback. They are cognizant of work life balance so burn out doesnt occur or anyone becomes too stressed. Travel is minimal but always a learning experience and is great to work with colleagues side by side.
Pros
Support, training, salary
Cons
Less paid time off than my previous company
Negative environment
Facilities Coordinator (Former Employee) – Salt Lake City, UT – May 18, 2019
If you want to work for a company that lacks managerial oversight, training, competitive pay and benefits, and promotes nepotism, undermining and gossip then this is the place for you.
Pros
none
Cons
Toxic work environment
Good pay for puppets. Poor ethics, professionalism and management. Cut throat.
Clinical Team Manager (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC – May 9, 2019
This is NOT a place for anyone who cares about clinical trial patients or quality. Employees are set-up for failure. The management is unprofessional and confirms they are driven by profit, even when the clinical trial quality is poor, the study endpoints can't be supported by the collected data and the trial data doesn't support a product that would be safe for patients. Trials are bogusly pushed forward without the supporting science via the trial completion. Each person is also expected to complete the volume of work for 3-4 people.
If you want to or do work here and are concerned by unethical conduct, before you notify any internal employee members, ensure that you document, document and document to protect yourself.

Pros
The overall salary is better than other CROs
Cons
Avoid raising any ethical concerns and focus solely on profit not quality or patient safety
Great to work for
Medical Assistant (Current Employee) – Overland Park, KS – May 5, 2019
Poor management, bully management, this could be a great place, and staff would stay with just a few replacements of upper management, and actually get skilled people to run company.
Pros
Great felliw employees
Cons
Poor management
Poor management, lack of leadership, professionals stifled and micromanaged, ethically misguided
Medical Research Practitioner (Former Employee) – Lenexa, KS – April 24, 2019
The summary says it all. The details of countless situations exemplifying those behaviors/situations noted in the summary aren't important. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, intelligent, competent, diligent and dedicated person, you will not succeed here. They seek individuals that they can manipulate, trample and coerce.
It sounds harsh, but it's simply true.
My experience is unfortunately all too common there, and it is the single most disappointing professional experience I have encountered in my 24 years of working.

Great Management / Little Advancement
Site Identification Analyst (Current Employee) – Blue Bell, PA – April 11, 2019
Management teams are great. Flexible with working remote. Teams have been incredible to work with. Toughest part is the opportunity for advancement and growth.
Overhead perspective only
Manager of Business Operations (Current Employee) – Raleigh, NC – April 1, 2019
Overhead employees are not valued as much as those who generate revenue. Slow promotion cycle and those who have worked at PRA will several years do not get compensated as much as new hires.
Strong industry leader. Inconsistencies amongst the management team in clinical Operations full service
Clinical Operation Manager (Former Employee) – NC – March 30, 2019
Very solid capabilities. Very noticeable inconsistencies amongst the management team reflecting very poorly on the moral. No oversight of Sr management which results in missed talent on teams due to personal gains.
Pros
Salary
Cons
Lack of advancement
Good Place to work
Lead Data Manager/Clinical Data Coordinator (Current Employee) – Bridgewater, NJ – March 25, 2019
Client Based contract firm. Employees can be embedded in client company. Overall good experience, until company doesn't have "assignment" available once contract is completed at client company,
My day at work
Medical Research Assistant (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – March 21, 2019
Make sure things are set up and ready to go is the main thing for PRA. This is all timed when we are working on a procedures. The best thing is to arrive at work early and make sure everything is set up for the day to come.
I recommend that you consider a career at PRA
DMC Specialist (Current Employee) – Kansas – March 15, 2019
PRA is an award winning clinical research operation and manages clinical trials world wide.
Each position is different and there are no averages in work life settings.

Empty promises after a great performance review 1 year after sign on
Senior Medical Writer (Former Employee) – Remote – March 3, 2019
Little to no room for advancement. Poor direct management. All about the bottom line for the company overall. I signed on at a lower level with promises that after a year review there would be room for advancement, salary increase and bonus. After a great performance review, my manager apologetically informed me that none of the promises would be fulfilled.
Pros
Work-life balance
Cons
Stuck with low salary and no bonus structure (despite promise)
Good place to work
Clinical Research Associate (CRA) (Former Employee) – Lima – February 27, 2019
I learned that team work is a must in PRAHS. People was glad to help each other when needed. Environment was friendly and respectful. The hardest part was to be aligned with Sponsor requirement for frequent and long lasting meetings. This was not able to be controlled by PRAHS.
Pros
Flexible hours, remote conection was allowed
Cons
A few career opportunities were offered
An exceptional management team and work life balance as a culture
Senior Project Manager (Consultant) (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC – February 27, 2019
During my engagement with PRA, I was met with openness and respect from both coworkers and leadership. Everyone was very engaging and appreciative of the support I brought to the team. I would gladly work for them again if the opportunity arises.
Pros
Supportive Leadership
Cons
Limited opportunities to convert to full time
Run while you can
Lab associate (Former Employee) – Salt Lake City, UT – February 25, 2019
The management at this clinic are beyond unethical. Deviations could occur and the lab manamgment would rather cover it up then own up to the deviation.
Promises of advancement are promised from day one, but when the opportunity arises they won’t even let you apply.
Frequently the schedule would be changed day off and you were expected to change your plans to accomadate poor scheduling.
