Pros

Medidata employees a lot of smart people, and is generally a satisfying place to work. The hours are reasonable, PTO policies are generous, and overall I haven't met many outright jerks here, at least in Engineering. I also think there are plenty of opportunities to develop your skills and career here. I do think the culture is fairly team-dependent however, so YMMV.

Cons

If you work on one of the large products, you will almost certainly find yourself maintaining legacy code and scrambling to pay back tech debt. The overall corporate direction also seems to shift frequently, with totally new objectives and focus each year, with little discussion of what happened, say, two years ago.

Amazing place to work, but not the fastest place to grow

Pros

Your team members will be extremely clever. Some of the most incredible people I've encountered in my career have been Medidatians. I learned an immense amount there, and they have a lot of the best talent in life sciences. The company also has great benefits and policies that treat its employees like real people.

Cons

Half the organization is stuck in "this is how things have always been done" and half of the organization is trying to innovate, but largely based on gut feelings and guesses. At times it can be frustrating to negotiate your projects internally.
