Pros
This place is definitely good to gain experience, there is a nice cafe downstairs that employees can get a discount at (otherwise expensive) and the building/location itself is very nice. Also there is a nice gym on site that the employees are able to use for free (if you are employeed with Covance, not a temp). I plan to stay here a little longer to get more experience, see if I can switch programs, and if not move on with a place I can make a career out of.
Kontras
Even thought the building is very nice the suite itself looks run down, and the computer systems that they use are extremely slow for the workload. They over work you, big time. If you really care about being productive and doing quality work you will get burnt out picking up all the extra slack. My program sucks, and most people in my program don't like their job, so from what I've heard from other employees they like what they do if you're lucky enough to get put in a good program, and good luck when asking to switch. If you are employeed with Covance or are a direct hire you're able to park in the parking lot, aside for that temps have a lot of trouble finding street parking so that is an issue, pto is good but benefits are crazy expensive. I feel like they really squeeze people into every corner, I have my own cubical but a lot of people are on folding tables as desks. High turn around, constantly people getting hired, fired and quitting. I have worked here for over a year and they still won't give me a time frame on when I will be having my annual review for a raise.
