Very toxic work culture and micromanaging. The CTMs and CRAM will never stop bothering you and demand more results. Company does not even know how to take care of their employees Low paying employees and overworking them

While we are glad that you have enjoyed the travel perks and the friends you have made during your time with Medpace, we are taken aback by some of your other comments. We can assure you that we do consistently evaluate compensation and benefits on an annual basis. We have a designated team that reviews benchmarks to ensure we are constantly aligned with the market and remain competitive in the industry. We recognize that we’re going through a major growth period at this time. While it’s an exciting time for the company, we recognize growing pains are present and are working hard to bring great new employees to the company. We encourage employees to work with their manager if they have any concerns with their current workload. Additionally, Medpace does not promote any behavior that may create a toxic working environment. If you have specific concerns, we recommend that you reach out directly to your HR representative to be sure that we can provide you the support you may need in addressing these concerns. Medpace strives to ensure that all employees feel valued and conduct their work in a healthy environment.

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.
