Pros

-Opportunities to gain training & experience if you are a fast learner, can handle extreme multitasking, and work well under pressure -Lots of PTO and sick time provided -The team that I worked with is the only thing that kept me at Medpace for as long as I did. The managers I work under, along with my peers, have helped me grow as a professional in the clinical trial industry, and I can confidently say that I'm am a more competitive candidate in my field. This is what makes working for Medpace even remotely worth considering.

Cons

-Compensation and health benefits are not competitive -Lack of respect and appreciation for employees from upper management -Office space in the new building in very uncomfortable (you sit less then 6 feet away from your desk mates), and there is zero privacy to speak to your direct supervisor since all offices and conference rooms are glass, so you can hear and see everything. -Unmanageable workload with no end in sight has resulted in low morale and quality of work has been compromised across the board -Support and communication from HR or the CEO are virtually non-existent.

We are sorry to hear your thoughts on the organization, but assure you that we value our employees and the great success they bring to Medpace.

We love our bright, open and modern aesthetic and we’re sorry to hear you disagree – we can’t please everybody. We are also saddened to hear about your feelings toward our HR team. Our HR department strives to serve the employees of the organization and provide a collaborative environment where they can continue to grow and thrive within the organization.

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.
