Pros

Getting a start in clinical research, nice office, colleagues usually nice and helpful

Cons

This use to be a good place to work. Since going public, only thing that matters is money. Gone are the days of employee perks and incentives to stay/work harder. Now they can only keep employees via fear (non-compete). Any and all perks are being taken away for thinly veiled reasons. Having salaried employees have to badge in and out of work like we are teenagers is insulting. Taking away WFH days with 2 weeks notice is not only short sighted but evil. How are parents supposed to figure out childcare with such short notice? That could be up to 3 hours travel time you have to find childcare for every day. Not to mention spending more on gas and wear and tear on our cars. This RTO is a pay cut, plain and simple. We also were not awarded any meaningful merit increases or bonuses this year since inflation drastically slowed (….um not it has not! Just their excuse). The CEO makes all major policy decisions, which is evidenced by how poorly they are received. Medpace saw record profits this year and did not want to share those with the employees who made it happen. They only care about shareholders, which I guess could work in the short term but employees will suffer and the ones who can will leave thus leaving nothing but newbies to take over.

We are saddened by your view of Medpace and taken back by your comments. As with many large companies, Medpace uses an access control system for the safety and security of our associates, and we do require associates to use company issued identification while on campus. In additon, we have made recent changes to our remote work policy in support of our culture of in-office collaboration, while still providing opportunities for associates to work from home when personal flexibility is needed. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

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.
