Pros

Modern facility, nice bathrooms, time flexibility, PTO, great friendships made through result of common ground complaints.

Cons

To Everyone:: Medpace tries to trap you with a non-compete agreement to not allow you work at any other CROs for a year after leaving the company, even if they are the ones to let you go! Take precaution! To my CRAs:: Medpace does not disclose to CRAs (or at least did not while I was employed) that their first months with the company is a trial-run to determine if you are good enough to stay with the company. They do not take into account whether their prospect would have been moving across the country to work there.. Take precaution! Terrible upper management, lack of opportunity for growth, management intentionally does not set you up for growth within the company (although they promote it at your interview), overworked and underpaid, the higher up you are in management, the less engagement there is with “the help”, under-appreciated is an understatement, all the CEO cares about is pleasing his shareholders (and you will hear about it in all of his 15 minute “quarterly staff meetings”.. HA what a joke!), no one is welcoming to the company, everyone keeps their heads down and tries not to make eye contact so they don’t have to speak (so backwards), you will eventually dread going to work, No one cares about your complaints because the complaint is not new and just gets thrown into the million-complaint bucket that Medpace has had for years! If you still decide to work for this company, just get your feet wet, absorb all of the experience that they allow you to get (because they indirectly control that too), and then GET OUT!

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.
