Pros

Free lunch and gym, training program, pretty facility

Cons

Low-balled pay scale. The training program is a joke. I have seen so many CRAs fired for the most ridiculous reasons. One lady had an emergency where her son was in a coma and was't sure if he was going to live. They FIRED her the day after she came back and said "you aren't a good fit"? She was a great CRA! Also, middle-school mentality. If you are not in the right clique-good luck. The interns watch and report everything, and report it! It's awful...just awful. :(

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that you feel there is negativity in the organization. Medpace provides initial and ongoing training for our CRAs through our PACE (Professionals Achieving CRA Excellence) program. This is highly valued in our organization due to the collaboration it provides between our CRAs and management. This program is rigorous and provides training needed for any CRAs that actively work at our sites. Not only do we feel it’s extremely successful, but we have been recognized with multiple awards that show the quality of our work. We acknowledge, however, that not all candidates successfully complete the program. We are also proud of the collaborative and flexible culture that we promote. We are very aware that Medpace is going through a period of high growth within the organization. Our leadership has made a great effort to acknowledge the efforts of valued employees during a busy season. However, 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. We take offense to the accusation that we would promote anything other than this type of culture. We work hard to ensure we are place that attracts employees not just for the short term, but are a place that our associates can grow in their career. It is apparent that Medpace was not the right place for you, but we appreciate your review.

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.
