Pros

Nice facilities with free gym

Cons

Can’t enjoy any of the nice facilities or the gym because everyone is incredibly overworked. Mismanaged from the very top. The company takes on way more than they can handle, throws tons of work on the employees, does a disservice to their clients by putting study quality at risk (not having the proper employee-study ratio to provide any quality work) and has an incredibly long high turnover rate. Some Project Coordinators would have over 40 studies to manage. They look for people right out of college to pay low, overwork for a year, and let leave for much better jobs elsewhere. It’s an incredibly toxic environment- unhealthy in every way. The president/CEO is a nightmare (Personally has to pass every single employee they try to hire but sees nothing of the interview or notes from the interviewer. Denies good candidates for already struggling departments.) The only good part were the coworkers who shared in your misery. Work anywhere else but here.

Although we appreciate all reviews, we are saddened by your thoughts about the organization. We take our mission to accelerate the global development of safe and effective therapeutics seriously. Our commitment to safety and quality governs our mission. We take offense to your assertion that we are doing a disservice to our clients regarding our work product. All Medpace associates are trained in safety and quality. We encourage all employees with workload or work environment concerns to address the issue directly with their manager or to reach out to our Human Resources department. We are also very proud of our growth and have plans in place to ensure our organization can continue to scale. We thoroughly vet the employees we select to hire the most talented candidates who can thrive in our fast-paced and exciting work environment. We recognize we cannot please everyone and we do our best to provide an environment where our employees feel valued, challenged, and motivated. We are sorry Medpace was not a fit for you but we 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.
