Pros

Nothing. Coming to Medpace was a horrible mistake!

Cons

Everything! Horrible management. Management positions are based solely off of time at Medpace, not knowledge, skills, etc. You get zero feedback from management and are expected to read their minds of what is expected. I sat at my desk for my first 3 months and had zero interaction with my manager. Benefits suck. I pay $700 a month for a family plan. 401K match comes once a year, not with each paycheck. I assume this is because turnover is so high. Infrastructure is incredibility outdated. Because of the high turnover and horrible knowledge transfer, no one knows how user management, off the shelf applications, etc work. New employees are handed a dumpster fire and expected to figure it out. No team environment. You sit in your cubicle and try to act busy. You don't interact with team members, there is no collaboration, or scene of togetherness. Everyone is looking to point the finger at someone else, and offload duties to others.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you feel there is negativity within the organization; however, we are proud of the collaborative and flexible culture that we promote and work hard to ensure our employees feel valued. By allowing our employees to utilize “flex time”, we still give them the ability to have a flexible schedule that encourages a well-balanced work/home life. The quarterly staff meetings we hold allow our employees to hear direct communication from our President, and we have training for all managers regarding cross-departmental communication, and communication with their teams. We appreciate your review, and should you have specific concerns, please reach out to your HR Rep to discuss more in 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.
