Pros

The training program for a Clinical Research Associate is excellent for individuals who may have no clinical research experience. Office atmosphere in Cincinnati and Dallas are both excellent. Co-workers were friendly and helpful. A good opportunity for an inexperienced or young individual within the industry.

Cons

- Travel is not regional, nor will you necessarily be resourced to sites close to your home location. - Employees seem to be resourced to an above average amount (as compared to the industry standard) of Protocols and Sites. - Pay and Benefits are below average for the industry.

Thank you for your feedback! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the training and collaborative culture we promote here at Medpace. We take pride in our comprehensive CRA training program and are glad you have been able to experience the benefits. We understand we’re going through a busy period due to high growth and appreciate the feedback you have given regards to work/life balance. While 60%-80% travel is required for all CRAs within the organization, and we try to make this travel as comfortable as possible with access to airport lounge and other travel membership benefits as well as an in-house travel department to help with bookings, we do understand this amount of travel is not the best fit for everyone. We are very proud of the growth we’ve experienced over the last few years, and only strive for that to continue. We appreciate the insight you have provided.

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.
