Pros

You get to learn about yourself a lot, as a team member and a leader. You also get to see what reality is at a very fast paced company with a leadership team that is very political.

Cons

The downfall of Medidata is the HR leadership. Not truthful and they form alliances with certain people and the rest are screwed. Unless you kiss up to the HR team, you are not really getting anywhere in this company, irrespective of how good you are. Another word to the wise- dont express your opinions. They dont want it despite the politically correct things they say to you.

We are disappointed to hear that you feel this way and have had a difficult experience. Our focus is on creating a workplace where everyone feels engaged and valued and that HR is always here as a confidential sounding board. It sounds as though we may have failed you and for that we are sorry. We spend tremendous effort to drive and support our employee’s growth and our leader’s development. We do read all of our Glassdoor postings and take them very seriously as we will with this one. Thank you.

Pros

The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

Cons

After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
