Pros of working at Celerion

My coworkers, the variety of sponsors I worked with, and the team environment.

Cons of working at Celerion

The pay is very low compared to the industry standard. There is no formal training process. There is no work-life balance: as a data manager you will conduct 10-12 studies at a time because Celerion DM employees leave their positions at a staggering rate.
