Pros

Trains employees very well. Vacation policy is very good - 15 days of paid time off, 6 sick days, and usually 2-3 floating holidays.

Cons

WFH USED to be great. It was very flexible, 8 days a month + 10 annual days. However, starting in 2024, all employees are required to be in-office on Tuesdays. Medpace likes to flaunt that they’re a flexible workplace, but requiring certain days to be on-campus days works against that ideology. Employee turnover is high, so often time, employees are being handed off projects from people leaving and those handoffs can be a mess. Starting pay is not that great. Also, the pay increase between entry level roles and Level I roles is significant, but then the increases between Level I to II is MUCH less

We are proud of the flexibility and benefits that we offer and we have a designated team that regularly reviews our compensation and benefits to ensure we are being competitive within our industry. In regard to our new mandatory Together Tuesday, this is a day of the week to maximize collaboration and assure predictable interaction for all associates, including those who are completely office-based and for new joiners. Unlike many companies, Medpace has not reduced the number of work from home days available to employees. We appreciate your feedback!

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.
