Pros

*Competitive compensation, especially considering its presence in the life sciences industry. *Great people to work with. *Amazing history.

Cons

*Since the acquisition by Dassault Systems, Medidata's technology and processes have regressed. *A heavy reliance on in-house solutions has led to subpar tools and systems. *Mandatory in-office work, temperature regulations, and reductions in bonuses and compensation increases have negatively impacted employees. *Leadership is plagued by infighting, with a focus on politics and gossip over productivity and company growth. *Internal mobility is practically nonexistent, with managers having the authority to block employees from seeking new opportunities within the company. *The company faces increasing competition from industry giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Palantir, and we struggle to remain competitive alongside them. *Lack of transparency in decision-making, favoritism, and the distribution of handouts to select leaders have created a toxic work environment. *Dassault Systems has inserted their people into key roles at Medidata since they bought us. *The culture of having a US tech company with a France-headquartered company doesn’t result in productive conversations or interactions.

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.
