Learned much, but morale went out the door.... - Clinical Data Analyst PPD Employee Review

Pros

Good health benefits and employee discounts. My co-workers were great-we had no choice but to lean on each other quite a bit.

Cons

Not enough training at all. You're only as good as the person who trained you. It's a "sink or swim" environment. Too much favoritism with promotions and new tasks. Covering your ass was a way of life. It was very easy to be blacklisted for something as simple as "asking too many questions." No clear career paths and too many people who want to be "chiefs", not "indians". There was an employee mass exodus starting last summer and will probably continue to be.

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)
