Pros

- Free lunch - Free parking

Cons

- Not able to work from home - Must use PTO for jury duty - Salaried employees must log time in the system if they leave without putting in an 8.5 hour day - Little room for advancement - Terrible maternity leave: 6 weeks at 60%, 6 weeks unpaid - Vacation is fully available on January 1 of each year, but if you go on short-term disability (such as maternity leave), your vacation will be manually removed by HR while you are out, as HR says you can't accrue vacation during short-term disability leave - even though your vacation is fully available to use on January 1 each year. Similarly, if you leave the company mid-year and used all of your vacation, Medpace requires you to pay back the vacation you didn't "accrue," even though it was fully available for use on January 1.

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.
