Medidata Solutions reviews

This organization sometime protects weak leaders and weak teams, at the cost of a healthy work environment. HR is an org to isolate strong professionals and maintain below-market hiring policies.

*The company hires managers who are not a cultural fit and then clash with their teams. You cannot “coach” someone to exude your company culture if they are not a fit. Executive level turnover is extremely high due to poor hiring decisions. It also feels like a“bait and switch” to interview with one set of people and then have that entire team turnover within 6 months. Be honest with candidates about the constant change the company goes through. *There is no discussion about career development or paths for promotion unless you threaten to quit. You can only be promoted if there is an open position available, even if you are highly rated. This is the opposite of motivation. This failure to recognize talented employees leads to low morale and high turnover. Very negative daily feeling in the office. *Little work/life balance in most departments. Never a "good time" to take vacation. Expected to always be “on call” even when using your "unlimited" PTO. Too many simultaneous projects aren’t managed properly and the focus on making day to day improvements is lost. You need to staff up certain departments and improve core processes before taking on new projects.
