Bad management, shady HR

Software applications engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good location - Nice office - Good coffee and bagel mondays

Cons

- Management is very result driven. I had 3 people reminding me about the same tasks multiple times a day. - Meetings turn into knife fights very quickly, everyone is quick to blame everyone else and to fight over the smallest disagreement. Short meetings always turned into hours with tabled conversations for later over small disagreements that were never resolved. - Low pay, they pay about 30 percent less than competitors for the same role in the same location. - Management should stay out of software. Managers who haven't programmed in 20 years should trust their teams to make the right choices and quit trying to micro manage. This is a company that obsesses over micromanaging and because of this very little gets done, everyone is too busy knife fighting. - HR is there to protect the company, don't trust them. They tried to trick me into signing an agreement that would have denied me any compensation package and would have denied me unemployment.

Disoriented mess

Pros

Compensation is good considering the amount of the work and the expectation. Nice office environment. They let you fly business class for flights over 10 hours, even if you are non-manager employee. Some people are highly competent and kind-hearted, and you can learn a lot from them. Nice parties here and there if you enjoy these events, but as a consistent party-hater I couldn't care less.

Cons

- Consistent lack of consistency. They keep changing things and no one seems to be able to catch up. - Frivolous spending. The way they spend money is so ridiculous they almost took it to the next level. Including those VPs making absolutely unnecessary international trips just to add mileages to their frequent flyer account. - Too much politics. It doesn't matter if you're good at something, the only thing that could get you climb up the ladder is to be an butt kisser. I have witnessed multiple times the most incompetent snail in the team getting promoted just because she/he had been a yes man. - HR is not only useless, they are also unapproachable and will frown at you if you came in to their office for help.

Great place to work!!!

Project manager & agile coach for software devopment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO, flexibility to wfh, great office space, holiday parties are top notch and the company is growing exponentially. Medidata is all around a great company doing great things!!!

Cons

I don't have anything bad to say. Management is very reasonable, sometimes you have to push to get ideas through but most companies are resistant to change. It does take a persistent person to spur change however you get out what you put in. My only con is a lot of people are ok with status quo which makes it hard to implement change.
