<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4768926"]Back to the original question- how to get in: Don't. I know you, poster, would like to be a CRA (or would have liked to be a CRA back when you posted the question), I get it. But Quintiles is not the place to be a CRA. I am an experienced CRA. I have worked for a couple of CROs. I accepted a position with Quintiles in first quarter 2013. It has been a very negative experience. If I could put it into one word, it would be "overwork". There is no time to follow up on anything or to put preventative processes into place that may stop the sites from making errors. It is really, really bad. The hints that it was going to be bad were there during the interviewing process, but I wrote them off as my imagination. The expectations for the CRAs are not realistic. You can't be onsite 4 or 5 days a week and do all of your visit reports and follow up on everything and complete all of the administrative tasks that they are asking you to complete. It's simple math. x hours in a day. If you have 3 site visits a week, that is a lot. Think about it. There is a lot of paperwork and processing and discussion involved with each visit. CRAs need more office time than Quintiles is willing or able to give. Is that specific enough? I'm through with staying up til the wee hours writing reports. Through. I am getting my life back at the earliest opportunity. See ya, quintiles. Management- get a clue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
