Supportive colleagues and management: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Senior Project Manager en Custom Learning Designs

Great team members and ability to work from home! This company is a great place to work as a medical writer -- whether you are just starting out at an entry-level position or in a more advanced role. Most if not all writers are working 100% from home but there are plenty of opportunities to collaborate with others so it doesn't feel like I'm isolated. I love that I'm always learning new things and, because of that, assignments are never boring.

Client pressures are certainly a factor but our project managers and content leads do a great job helping to manage client expectations and project timelines.

I was a medical writer for CLD for 8 years. I left CLD because my spouse’s job required us to relocate and I do not like to work from home. I prefer to go into an office and collaborate face-to-face with others. I enjoyed my time at CLD. When I started with CLD, I had been doing post-doc work and I was tired of bench work. I had some limited but not extensive writing experience but CLD gave me a chance. I learned so much over the years and I have had the chance to work on so many interesting projects with so many very intelligent and creative people. My manager and my colleagues helped me become a great writer. It takes skill to translate heavy duty medical texts containing lots of jargon into something that keeps a business major’s interest and is easy for them to understand and digest. I had a lot of support getting there. I have had the chance to write for applications used on mobile devices and also to write the dialogue for characters in a story that graphic designers and medical illustrators have brought to life. No job is perfect. Sometimes the clients want things faster than is realistic but I always did the best I could and it always worked out. At CLD, I met many writers with similar backgrounds to mine. Many stayed and became some of my best friends and some found that writing was in the end not something they wanted to do every day for a living. Salary and benefits at CLD seem comparable to elsewhere.
