Pros

Nice coworkers. Flexible hours. Nice place to get your foot in the door.

Cons

There is very little incentive to stay at this place of work. The existing, light-hearted culture I once knew quickly became shrouded in the harsh reality that no matter how many hours I put in, no matter how much I worked, I would not be recognized, promoted, or compensated fairly. I tried to talk to management directly about my concerns, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt every. single. time. I kept sane by telling myself I could still be proud of the work I put out. For this work, what was I met with? - Disappointment. 1.4% yearly raise? Cool. A 50$ bonus? Oh you have me sold! I wasn't taken seriously until I was already out the door. Medpace Medical Device is quickly gaining a bad reputation in the Twin Cities area, and I have a hard time feeling bad for them over it. Too many people have been left out to dry. I've since moved to a company who respects my wishes to grow, my determination to succeed, and my drive make this world a better place. I now know what it's like to work in an environment that appreciates me through and through. I honestly didn't think this was possible, as I was so disenfranchised upon leaving Medpace. Unless you are desperate for experience, I'd say it would be wise to avoid Medpace as your place of work.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
