Medidata Solutions reviews

Very immature VPs in sales and services. Not focused on overall development of employees. Huge egos and personalities you are forced to deal with. Not much room for growth internally. Company views unknown people off the street more than internal employees. If you get an offer with Medidata, make sure you negotiate the highest salary you possibly can. The salary you come in with is the one you will keep as long as you are there.

Very consuming. Very high turnover rate in many areas, and additional work is piled upon those who stay and are able to take it. Of course, management is clueless and does not know how to recognize this, so they have unrealistic expectations and pile on more work with no motivation. Extremely political. As long as you are friends with a VP, you are set for life here. It is funny how the people who drive many of the innovations and products at the company are at the bottom level. The people at the top level simply sign on it without knowing what it is they are signing off on. Very few managers actually motivate their team or drive direction. If they did - you would be the first to know because they usually send out an email to the entire company if they actually do something good. Leadership is almost nonexistent. Don't expect to be led in the right direction by your manager, or even the head of the department. You have to make your own path and then just be assertive and push your own agenda. Poor change management. People pretty much are kept in the dark and then one day decisions are made and expectations are set, and guess who does the work?
