Medidata Solutions reviews

If you've been offered a job here, know that the company prompts new hires to post their "90 day review" of their experience so far directly to Glassdoor. The reviews aren't exactly fake, but who has anything bad to say about their employer after 3 months? Things move SLOW at Medidata. If you're from outside of the pharma industry, you'll really notice this. The company lost a lot of important contributors following the acquisition and subsequent reorgs. Middle management is almost entirely new as a result and a little lost. They're not handling it particularly well, and have taken up the Medidata mantle of having people work way too hard "just this once" instead of, you know, having a more realistic plan. This is costing them lots of good people and culture. It's a chaotic time to join the company, but I hope they can right the ship.

Where do I start? I once read a glassdoor review that stated "Medidata where careers go to die" I didn't get it for the first year or so. Now if I could go back in time I would have ran and never looked back. Managers who are well educated and great leaders usually move on quickly leaving highly unqualified, unskilled tenured employees to take the reigns...and they are given a book on leadership and left alone..it's complete and total laziness on behalf of the C level leaders. HR is the WORST, I've seen them look the other way on several sexual harassment and general toxic workplace cases stating "that's how guys talk" and then saying if you have any concerns fill out this survey. They LIVE for glassdoor reviews which they write themselves regularly. Would NOT recommend!
