Pros

There are no positives of working for this company whatsoever.

Cons

Managers regularly interact with their subordinates in a disrespectful manner. Employees are condescended to, addressed rudely, and screamed at with no consequences or recourse for this kind of treatment. Management's overall attitude is "every man for himself." This is exemplified by an absence of proper job training, lack of effective communication, poor work/life balance, and persistent willingness to defer delegated responsibilities to unaccountable parties. Employees are blamed for errors unequivocally made by their superiors and employees will spend a considerable amount of their work hours gathering tangible evidence to defend themselves against these false accusations. This company is notorious for paying some of the lowest salaries in the industry when compared to equivalent positions at competing CROs. The substandard salaries combined with the uncivil conduct exhibited by managers make this a miserable place to work. Employees are clearly stressed, exhausted, and depressed. Working for Syneos Health will degrade the overall quality of your life and after you burn out, you won't have any career progression to show for it. Avoid this company.

Pros

Incredible management, very communicative, most supportive and kind people i have ever worked with. They want to see you succeed on your contracts and are your safe space for questions and learning. I have never been more pleased with a company. Unlimited PTO

Cons

Most of their recognition is paid out in internal points instead of actual money
