Pros

The horrible working environment really pushes you to get to know your colleagues and become friends with them. Better to be miserable with company than alone. Everyone wants to leave and talks about it together, at least you can laugh about it.

Cons

- Racist: multiple episode reported of higher ups and team members being blatantly racist during calls and meetings. NOTHING was done and you’d be told it is “a different argument to tackle” - long hours: multiple days a week and every month where you stay until 22, a normal work day would be 9-19 at the very least. Team is greatly US based and they don’t really care about your time. Worse than that, management would proudly say “if you want to work a 9-5 this is not the place for you” - pay is low and progression is even lower: sketchy to say the least. Promised raises and bonuses that would be “confirmed” but never received or randomly decreased. All of this whole being told “this is the highest raise I’ve seen” but it’s below inflation and industry standard - no progression: you can get your evaluation near to perfect but progression is linked to time spent at the company so there is no incentive to work harder - culture: “we do it best” attitude mixed with “the old way is the way” and “we are a family” that translates to you will be overworked, no one will remember your name and we don’t care about process improvement. No flexibility: job can be done while working from home, yet wfh is frowned upon. No benefits in being in the office, the “big offering” is a drink or a snack on Tuesday from the trolley (important that is either of them and not both, people were scolded for taking two) Horrible place for diversity and inclusion, not safe for POC and LGBTQ+ people, they don’t care about you and won’t listen to you

We are saddened by your view of Medpace. We are extremely proud of the diverse culture we promote here and we value employees from all different backgrounds. We believe that an inclusive environment contributes to our success. As we encourage all employees to escalate any of these very serious concerns to their supervisor and Human Resources for immediate investigation and resolution, we invite you to contact our London or Cincinnati (Corporate) HR Department to discuss your concerns further. It is true that we expect a great deal from our employees and are experiencing a major growth period. While it’s an exciting time for the company we are also working hard to bring great new employees to the company to help alleviate workload pressures. Regarding compensation, we have a designated team that regularly reviews our compensation and benefits to ensure we are being competitive within our industry. We recognize we cannot please everyone, and we do our best to provide an environment where our employees feel challenged, motivated, valued, and encouraged to advance.

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.
