Pros

Visionary Leadership, best in class products, well defined processes, lots of potential, beautiful office space in NYC. This is a great company but there are pitfalls and not everyone is nice, interested in your well-being or promoting deserving talent. You will need to push yourself forward if you want to move ahead.

Cons

No clear career path for many of the positions despite it being a goal of the company. Some very inexperienced managers who really need more training on how to manage individual contributors and mid-career employees. If you are a remote employee, you will need to consider carefully how to get yourself noticed.

Career pathing is something that we, like many organizations, are working to improve upon. Because we do not have set career paths, we like to view that as an opportunity for our employees to expand their horizons and try out new things. We encourage them to figure out what their interests are and help put them in touch with the right people at Medidata to get them where they want to go. We also have new Learning and Development programs and initiatives focused on developing new and current managers to improve their leadership skills. Most recently a new Career Development program was launched with over 300 employees in attendance to date.
