Pros

Nice small game room at New York office with ps4, Xbox one, pool table, etc.

Cons

Very very bad middle management. Direct managers are kind of pain and introduces more obstacles, reduces morale. It's pretty much of my way or highway from senior people working on the team. Teams are ran by a single person , instead of working as a team. Product has no idea what it's doing. HR will say that the company is awesome and the glassdoor reviews are by past management. Dont listen to them. Run as far as you can from this company. You have been warned. :)

Thank you for your review. At Medidata, we hire the best talent, and sometimes that means hiring new managers. This is why we offer new and improved Learning and Development workshops such as “Having Quality Conversations”. We also recently introduced a new Leading at Medidata program for all new leaders to help them understand our culture of collaboration and innovation. Our most recent employee survey results reported an 85% employee engagement score, which most companies would envy. That's not to say we are perfect and some managers need more coaching and development but as we learn of problem areas we do attend to them.

Pros

Everything that Medidata is rumored for: great space and feel, good people that are dedicated, real mission and meaning.

Cons

There are some pockets of serious disfunction. Everything is so positive and safe that no one can easily express problems without being labeled a problem.

Thank you for your positive comments about Medidata’s space and feel; culture is everything to us! As our employees know, we live and breathe our mission and we believe it makes for dedicated and motivated workers. To address your point about not being able to express problems, we have an anonymous "Ask Exec" feature which allows employees to raise issues to executives, which gives us visibiilty into where we need to drill down. Managers who are struggling are given coaching and development opportunities, which may not be visible to others. The HR Business Partners work behind the scenes with these leaders and most recently we added several staff to our team to improve the coverage of HR to line management.
