Pros

You will get paid on time. Thats the only pro that I can think of.

Cons

Not much room for growth. No focus on quality of life. No Structure. Theory X management style. (Micromanagers) Finger pointing is the primary focus rather than actually getting the job done.

We appreciate hearing all input on current and previous employees experience. We share the sentiment that keeping the bar high for prospective talent is incredibly important. We are growing at an extremely fast pace and are working to ensure that the caliber of talent coming into the organization can handle the scope of work required to grow our Company. We understand that in the short term, the changes are affecting our current employees and we appreciate all of the extra work our current teams are putting in to help the business run. Our end goal is to put into place the correct processes, people & systems to help our organization scale, and we are well on our way!

Medidata hitting its stride

Pros

Brand new facility allows for great collaboration and innovation. Fast paced environment with a lot of exciting work going on. Unlimited PTO and other great benefits for U.S. workers.

Cons

If you aren't actively engaged and jumping in when you hear something of interest, an opportunity will pass you by. Don't expect someone to tap you on the shoulder with an opportunity for development. The pace is so fast that there are often valuable things left on the table. Work/Life balance can be a challenge and must be actively monitored.

Medidata moves at an incredibly fast pace, and with the ever changing nature of our business & industry, it is not likely that we will slow down anytime soon! We understand that the rate at which our Company is changing may be faster than the rate at which we can communicate all changes with our teams. This is something we are actively working on, as visibility into all aspects of the business is vital in fostering an innovative & collaborative environment, which will always be Medidata’s objective. Keeping with the common theme of fast paced growth, some employees may get caught up in the day to day grind that they forget the most important thing for themselves, work/life balance! We hold our employees to a high talent bar, but we also know that having a life outside of the office will ultimately foster better & happier employees. We strive to allow flexibility in the workweek, as personal and family well being always come first. We expect you to get your work done, but give you the flexibility to decide the best hours for you. How are we working to encourage work/life balance? Some of our new U.S. benefits in 2014 include unlimited paid time off, gym and tuition reimbursement & monthly office events (such as trivia & poker nights!) We are also working diligently on enhancing the skills of our managers at all levels in the company. Some will continue to come in the form of training but most is direct coaching and feedback from the next level management and their business partner.
