Pros

I was able to learn a lot about FDA regulations documentation and method development.

Cons

PPD does not care about their employees they will work you to death and never promote you but instead give you a bad review even if you're number one as far as number of plates ran per year.

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)
