Disorganized chaos

So many new contracts. So many new hires. Quality is going downhill fast to fill slots. Second rate wannabees are invading the company and it takes about six months to weed them out. Then comes the damage control.

Trying to be a big company with small company platforms and processes. It just isn't going to work in the long run.

The attrition rate is appalling. Lack of professionalism is everywhere.

This is the only place that ever seen where employees just walk off with leaving notice. I guess that they do not care. They aren't treated with respect so that they don't give it.

The basis of the problem is this, we grow at double digit percentages every year. That means that we take any project we can win. Then, that means that we will literally take anyone that will sign as an employee. Then many of those aren't what we want but the problem is that when they leave those responsibilities must be taken over by those that stay. They quit and it snow balls. This happens all the way up the leadership chain. It is actually a symptom of our talent acquisition process and can't be addressed as long as we promise this growth.

I've have never been in a company where most people start looking for an outside job within a few months of starting!

It isn't working now. Unpressional bunch of amateurs.
 






I have recently started there and I cannot describe the utter disorganization and chaos. I want out and am miserable. They take on projects they cannot fulfill and don't follow their own SOPs. No one likes new people and avoid you since they are probably on several projects and don't have time. The systems are numerous and outdated. Everyone acts mad and the morale is low.

But we are hiring like shit at the Exec level and thy day that all of this is normal for CROs. Shake it off as the song says.

I think it's too late. Pfizer has been talking with at least two other tops CROs (for months) and work will be going way from Parexel

I have a contact at another CRO who says that it is basically a done deal. They haven't signed with them yet but it is at the point where the competition between the other two alternative CROs is who can convince Pfizer that they have the best transisition / salvage plan. At this point it isn't even about the cost because we have screwed up the studies so badly that it is about saving them at this point.

Pfizer is gone and everyone at the executive level is planning on it. Many at he working level will be laid off the only question is at the executive level, who will take the blame.
