Medpace Response
5yWow! We are very taken back and saddened to hear about your experience with Medpace. Although we are disappointed to hear that you had a negative experience within the organization, we understand that the high standards to which we ask our employees to excel at are not for everyone. This is what we believe distinguishes us from other CROs. 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. During the uncertainty of COVID-19, we did allow our staff to work remotely for 2 months to ensure the safety of our employees and communities. We have slowly started re-opening our offices to a staggered schedule at 50% capacity. Although we had maintained our full workforce with full pay for the initial weeks of the various lockdowns, 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. And you seem to have some bad information regarding travel during the pandemic! We did suspend all non-essential travel and CRAs in particular switched to virtual site visits and remote monitoring. As travel restrictions have lifted we have resumed some essential travel - including monitoring visits. As you mentioned, we are extremely proud of our CRA training program (PACE) and have seen incredible success and collaboration it provides between our CRAs and management. It is apparent Medpace was not the best fit for you. We wish you well in your future endeavors.
