Pros

Free Lunch. Interesting work assignments. Robust training

Cons

Overworked, underpaid...which would be OK for entry level if the team culture was not so brutal. Bait and switch on bonus/travel structure. Also, the salad bar might give you the runs

Thank you for leaving a review. 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. 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. We work very hard to ensure we have a collaborate culture here at Medpace and are sorry to hear you had a poor experience. We do encourage all employees to talk to their supervisor or HR representative should they have any issues. It is apparent Medpace was not the best fit for you, but wish you well in your future endeavors.

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.
