Pros

Learned what "red flags" are, made some friends

Cons

Gossipy managers who play favorites, no trust, micromanaging, and women make less than men. No I am not saying there are less women that work there than men, to whatever HR employee responds to this. The women that work here, despite their experience and qualifications, get paid LESS than men. Just heard about the massive layoffs too. While other company CEOs are taking paycuts, August Troendle and co. want to stay rich during a global pandemic. It speaks to the culture of this place, they only care about money and productivity, not anyone's wellbeing. Please don't waste your time here.

Thank you for leaving a review. We are very taken back and saddened to hear about your experience with Medpace. However, your accusations regarding unequal pay due to gender are offensive and untrue. We consistently work with our Compensation and Benefits team to review salary and benchmarks to assure we are aligned with the market while also being competitive in the industry. Salary is determined by the role being offered and an individual’s educational and employment experience. We highly value all employees and are proud to have women in leadership positions at every level of our organization. In this time of COVID-19, Medpace, like a lot of businesses, has had to make some very difficult decisions. Although we had maintained our full workforce with full pay for the initial weeks of Ohio’s lockdown order, despite the fact that many of our positions cannot be performed if our campus is not open, unfortunately this is not a sustainable long-term option. It was a very difficult decision to release some of our on-campus staff, and we hope that the severance packages offered to them will help in part to sustain during a difficult economic time for everyone. We certainly understand the frustration and anxiety everyone feels in this difficult time and we are confident that by working together we will get through this. We wish you well in your future career.

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.
