Service Description

They were contracted to provide detailed project management, data management, Ivrs, vendor management, regulatory and contracts.

What Went Well

They performed adequately, and goals were met. Timelines slipped a bit occasionally because it was clear that they were preoccupied with other priorities. Seems like employees do not get a break.

What Could Be Improved

They could hire enough people so employees can spend enough time to do their jobs to high quality.

Lessons Learned from the Experience

I learned that I don't want to work for a CRO. CRO objective is profit, not quality.
