Pros

Nothing is positive besides the salary

Cons

This company will try to wring you out for everything you are worth. The benefits are trash. The work culture is insanely toxic. People come into work sick all the time (likely against their will). You get 5 sick days for a whole year. They couldn’t care less if something happens to you or your family — just when you’re gonna be able to get back to work (and it better be right away according to them!). I even got a text on the day a close family member died (which they had been informed about previously), asking me if I had my laptop so I could do work that day. Even if you’re an employee who has bent over backwards and put your all in, and delivered time and time again, they have no interest in doing anything to keep you around. All of the project managers I got hired with (now including myself), have quit within ~a year of hire. WFH in some functional areas is a lie and gets denied within your allowance often. This place is insanely adverse to the idea of innovation too. They have no interest in hearing any ideas you may have for improvement.

We are saddened by your view of Medpace and taken aback by your comments. We strive to ensure our employees have a comfortable, collaborative work environment. Our associates are the heartbeat of this company, and we strive to make them feel heard and valued. We promote a culture focused on positivity, collaboration, and flexibility. In regard to benefits, we offer various plans based on employee needs, and we consistently review our benefits each year to be sure we are meeting associate expectations and remaining aligned with the market. Medpace does not tolerate any behavior that creates a toxic work environment. As we encourage all employees to escalate any of these very serious concerns to a manager and Human Resources for immediate investigation and resolution, we invite you to contact our Cincinnati Human Resources Department to discuss your concerns further.

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.
