Pros

The pros of Medpace include free onsite gym, free lunch, nice coworkers. Flexible work hours (depending on your manager) reaching for these pros because there is not a lot of good things to say.

Cons

Low pay, very low bonuses and merit increases, usually no merit is given, bonus is unpredictable. Almost impossible to advance and/or get promoted unless you are liked by the executives. Executives need to get over themselves and step away. Retire already and let fresh ideas come in. Not letting people work from home when space is maxed out is silly. HR outright lies during the interview about advancement opportunities. Forced to sign a non compete valid for one year Forced to give 1 month notice or you can never be rehired and must pay back PTO Executives in a relationship directly reporting to each other-which contradicts their own SOP

Thank you for your feedback. We are proud to offer additional discretionary compensation to individuals in the organization who exceed performance expectations and meet the minimum eligibility requirements. Medpace values the growth of each employee, which is why we have multiple levels structured within each position in order to provide a way for our associates to have continual opportunities for advancement. A non-compete agreement is a very common practice in competitive industries, such as ours. Medpace notifies all candidates who interview of our employment contract prior to offering a position. This allows each candidate to evaluate if the non-compete agreement is something they feel comfortable with prior to joining the organization. We are always willing to address concerns and hear recommendations on ways to improve. Please feel free to reach out to your HR representative should you wish to discuss in more detail.

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.
