Pros

A good place to start your career, but you may also walk into the office on a Monday morning, ready to work hard, but suddenly heard you are fired.

Cons

The management is very unprofessional and creates a toxic work environment. Bullying is always tolerated, a lot of people worry about losing their jobs. Very low pay, a lot of work, and very low retention for employees. Employees must sign a non-compete contract that prevents them from getting another CRO job within a year after leaving Medpace. There is no future here. Run from this company if you can - don't be tricked by them as a fresh graduate for the sake of your mental health.

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.
