Pros

Good training program to get you in the clinical research industry. They will train you and get you up to speed. The training can be challenging for some based on your education and exposure to sciences.

Cons

Terrible pay, CEO is very odd, culture is very trigger happy with firing people. High stress at times. Value pharmacist CRAs at ~25-30k more than an average CRA, despite you both doing the same job.

We are glad to hear you enjoyed the training program Medpace provides. Training is extremely important for all new employees given the regulations and high standards we have within the CRO industry and we are very proud of our PACE (Professionals Achieving CRA Excellence) program. We have a designated team that reviews compensation 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. While it’s an exciting time for the company, with that comes growing pains. Last year alone, we grew by nearly 25%. We are working hard to bring great new employees to the company and we are continually building an environment that meets the needs of a workforce with diverse needs. We are sorry to hear Medpace was not a 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.
