Pros

I loved my colleagues and day-to-day work.

Cons

Leaders remind staff they are expendable. The CEO commented that AI can replace all but 2 people (himself + a researcher) at an all-staff meeting! To illustrate, I worked well, happily, and diligently for the last few years. But then, I received the weirdest and most abrupt “firing” before Medpace released quarterly financial results to the public. HR’s decision and reasoning seemed vague... my department peers were just as shocked and taken aback as me. I’ve since learned that other recently “fired” staff members had eerily similar experiences, leading us to speculate if it was a creative way for the company to avoid issuing public layoff notices.

Thank you for the review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed working with your colleagues and your day-to-day work. Regarding your comment on 'big and sudden changes' we recently have made changes to our remote work policy to support an in-office collaborative environment, while still providing some flexibility for employees to meet personal needs.

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.
