Pros

Coworkers are, for the most part, great. Driven individuals with a can-do attitude that are used to doing more with less. Opportunities for remote and hybrid work are there, for now.

Cons

In a very short space of time, Perceptive is set on proving all of the stereotypes associated with private equity-owned businesses to be true. Hiring is frozen (this is an assumption based on personal experience, because freezes are never communicated to those most impacted by them), benefits are being slashed and employees are being asked to do even more with even less. 10 days of paid parental leave is a joke, as is starting the year with zero sick time- and being told that we still have the "opportunity" to use PTO or to take sick time unpaid is a slap in the face. We're all waiting to hear how you've decided to save money on our health insurance.

Pros

My coworkers were all great. Being a CRO, a good variety of studies came through, giving me exposure to a variety of imaging modalities and study designs. The work is varied and interesting.

Cons

There has been some recent turnover and company structure changes due to the company recently being acquired.

Pros

Offers a variety of experience

Cons

Company direction is hard to pin point due to lack of transparency. Management consists of deluded climbers who have long lost any compassion for those beneath them. Layoffs routinely with a single day notice and escorts off site. Little is ever said as to the reason behind lay offs, and individuals tasked with carrying out lay offs discourage discussion or general critique. Professionalism, if ever present, is long gone and it is a common occurrence to experience or hear about those beneath management being berated, cursed at or shouted at, and irrational demands made with no basis besides the fulfillment of the manager’s ego and self-preservation of their ultimately empty career. Regardless of what is said internally or externally, it is hard to conclude that management regards individuals as anything more than business units. Pushback or critique to management is ultimately met with retribution, regardless of intent or integrity of criticism. Bright individuals tend to either burn out and leave due to poor treatment, or slowly dim and regress. Quality of work and company output is degraded by inept direction of management. Most efforts to improve processes are do not integrate feedback from those doing work, and ultimately managers force burdensome additions to processes that allow them to pass blame off themselves and improve appearance to those above them.
