Pros

Bonding with coworkers over terrible management and company deception

Cons

"There will be a raise after you are finished training"... Training program is 6 months long... "You aren't considered fully trained until you have worked 2 years." Coronavirus response was to send half the office home one week, and the second half home the next week... aka inconvenience everyone while putting everyone at risk. No monitoring visits were to be cancelled unless expressly prohibited by the government. Company issued statement says word for word "Medpace continues to operate as business as usual". You are, and will feel, like nothing more than a means for the company to profit. Medpace is a wage cage. Training program is unnecessarily complicated, uninformative, and overly stressful. Avoid if you can.

Medpace Response

Thank you for leaving a review. We are sorry to hear you have not been pleased with the resources and training programs we offer. Medpace provides 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. We understand that in the first 2 years employees spend more time learning the business/industry than out in the field, and this is for a reason. We take pride in the quality of monitoring we provide at the sites and feel it’s important for employees to gain an understanding of the other roles we have at Medpace through the rotation prior to working on-site. In regard to the recent outbreak of COVID-19, this global pandemic is new to all of us. We are navigating as best as we can and assure you we are taking this very seriously. We are complying with CDC guidelines of social distancing in the organization, extra cleaning services regularly throughout the building, and are allowing employees to work from home (on a staggered schedule) every other week to ensure we help stop the spread. Employees with special circumstances are welcome to reach out to us and we will accommodate as necessary. As a healthcare company, we recognize the severity of the virus which is why we are following all guidance given by the CDC and state of Ohio. We also recognize the importance of the clinical trials we are currently running and the need to continue to fight all disease and continue our mission to accelerate the global development of safe and effective medical therapeutics. Our hope is to maintain full employment and to be prepared once this crisis passes. Should you have any specific concerns, we ask that you reach out to your HR Representative directly to discuss and ensure you feel safe.

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.
