Pros

OK, so Medidata is amazing for many reasons: - You get to work on products and business problems that make the world a healthier place - The culture is friggin awesome and the majority of people you work with are down to earth, cool, collaborative people - You actually get a work/life balance - Amazing benefits (stock purchase program, gym reimbursement, etc.)

Cons

Based on my experience, and seeing people in similar situations, this is not the best company if you're young, talented, and ambitious. So many layers of middle management have been created and the company doesn't really have much transparency in promotions or raises. Basically, neither the HR department or middle management focus on developing and promoting people under them. The company's mentality is *it doesn't matter how talented you are, we're only going to promote you if there's some position open*. It's weird, they literally disincentivize you from working your hardest. The people who I've seen be really successful stay for a year or two and use the company as a launch point to a gig at some other company that has a better title and salary.

Pros

Good policies to start off with, unlimited PTOs.

Cons

The management at Medidata is definitely not up to the mark. It hits hard on you when a technical person is managed by a non-technical person. Talent is definitely under valued at this company and they loose out on the brightest of minds.
