Martín Tibaldi - Senior Supply and Logistics Leader

“I have multiple examples where I was part of a project team and the investigational drug product that was under evaluation passed all phases and became approved as a new treatment. It is in those moments when all the work and years of research become highly valued, and this is really heartwarming for me.”

Vanina Szczygiel - Manager, Clinical Operations

“I love my job. Although working in clinical research is a daily challenge, it's important to focus that we can collaborate and with that improve the life quality of people who suffer a disease. Also, the work environment is very nice and I have close workmates from all departments."

Nadia Banegas - Senior Project Specialist

“When I joined Parexel I was told that I am the owner of my own career, and the reality is that it is true, as long as you put your mind to it. It is essential that you have transparency with your Line Manager so that they can accompany you on the path you choose. I once heard the phrase, ’if there is a will there is a way,’ and in this company, it is just like that.”

Stephanie Tarris Samaniego - Clinical Supply Specialist

"Working at Parexel has helped to enhance my confidence. I see that it’s ok to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, as well as take on new responsibilities. I began working as a Clinical Supply Assistant and I was able to be promoted to my current position as a Clinical Supply Specialist in less than 2 years."

How has Parexel supported you during the pandemic?

During the pandemic, we all needed to change habits but, as a Parexel employee, working from home was not part of it. We were highly prepared for remote work and were used to the flexibility of being at home. Both within the teams and on the company level, there were a variety of resources in relation to COVID-19 that helped us to provide the best outcome for our work. Line Managers and teams supported each other so that work never became a burden. It became a source of comfort, where the idea of being part of the solution to the pandemic made us pull through the hardest times. Our employees were able to request different office supplies and equipment depending on their own personal needs. The teams continued to have meetings virtually to address any difficulties, stay connected, and also welcome new hires.

Virginia Pasquali - Manager, Project Quality ＆ Risk Management

“At the beginning of the lockdown in Argentina, without school, the nanny left us... you can imagine my first thought: ‘How will I work with my kids at home?’ The reaction from my Line Manager was, ‘Please paste a note on your computer with: The most important thing is to keep your family safe.’ Now 11 months later, we are still without the nanny or school. However, I learned to work with my children, and they learned to prepare the breakfast, to make the bed 😊 and we became much stronger as a family. At the same time, I think that this last year I grew more than ever to be resilient to any situation in life, but also at work!”

María Correa Torrado - Project Quality & Risk Lead II

“I started working at Parexel in April 2020 with the global pandemic on the front door, such a unique time! From the first moment of the selection and interview processes, all the way to my first day of work, every colleague from HR, IT, Recruitment, and Management teams have been incredibly supportive, respectful, and kind. Despite being a decentralized employee, I felt accompanied at every moment and I will always cherish that."

What have we learned in the past year?

In the last year, we have learned to work in a very fast-paced environment, reinvent ourselves, and think flexibly in complex situations. We all realized that nothing can stop us and that we can be proud of that fact. We’ve ensured that patients receive their treatments even in the hardest situations and we changed the way we work on studies. Our employees stayed patient and got creative.

Alejandra Nudelman - Project Quality & Risk Manager

“I learned that while keeping objectives in mind, the plan should be amended as necessary always keeping quality in mind. With lockdowns of sites and traveling restrictions, implementation plans often required re-assessment, and flexibility is a must. Due dates, policies, and regulatory decisions changed rapidly and in different ways in each country. We assisted both the teams and clients to implement risk control measures and impact mitigation plans, which are periodically reviewed, as new information becomes available. This year more than ever we understood that timely and effective communication is key to meeting sponsor expectations.”

María Capasso - Associate Project Leader

“I learned to be more patient, more organized, and more understanding of other people’s struggles. Overall, I think last year was a time when everyone learned to value some things that we often take for granted, such as having jobs that we enjoy but that also allow us to be safe at the same time.”

Some advice from your future colleagues:
