ICD - Associate Scientist PPD Employee Review

Pros

Flex scheduling, decent PTO, exceptionally friendly coworkers, experience doing all stages of drug development and testing within an FDA regulated lab

Cons

Some of the Group Leaders are not very effective leaders. My primary Group Leader was always in a terrible mood, never appreciated work done above and beyond expectations, and gave terrible, unfair reviews. I got a 2 cent raise after working for over a year, and this was rewarded to me after I figured out what was causing one particular assay to fail repeatedly and which she took credit for in the end.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
