Pros

Free lunch, free gym, young colleagues.

Cons

Overall lack of management. Managers are only in their positions due to friendships or length of time at Medpace. They do not actually possess any skills that would make them suitable managers. The company enjoys having employees always feel a threat of being fired and does not promote quality work, but rather quality friendships with your manager. If you enjoy being talked down to, disrespected, and told that you need to make friends rather than do your job then this is the place for you! As soon as you walk in, you'll notice a trend of people that have either been there for 1 month or 10 years. There is no in between. The rate at which people quit and/or get fired is concerning. My best advice is to not be enticed to work here out of college simply to have a job. They prey on college graduates so that they can overwork and underpay you. Right now, they are in a situation where they hired too many people so they are firing left and right but somehow still continue to hire. I would have rather had no job than have dealt with the antics of this company and the stress of the workplace. The sooner I can leave, the better life will be. This place is pitiful.

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.
