Pros

They hire right out of college with little to no experience, making getting into the workforce pretty easy. I'm thankful that I was able to learn a lot about the industry and also made great friends with my coworkers (despite the introverted nature of the job). Base pay and PTO are pretty good and hours are flexible. They are very sensitive about overtime pay, so work-life balance is basically enforced.

Cons

If you read a majority of the reviews it'll all say the same things that held true while I was there: unsupportive upper management, treating hourly data coordinators as "lesser than" when the COVID-19 pandemic hit (they made us work in-office while the rest of the company that was salaried were able to work staggered). I was discriminated against and treated poorly compared to others on my team, and then quickly gotten rid of when I spoke out about it. Your manager will make or break your ability to grow in your position and learn, so if you choose to join this company I pray you get an understanding and nurturing one.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed your experience at Medpace and the opportunities you were given to learn and grow within the department. We pride ourselves in hiring individuals with limited experience and giving them proper training to grow within the industry. We value our employees equally, and take claims of a hostile work environment very seriously at Medpace. Each claim of this nature is investigated and appropriate action is taken when warranted. Nice work on quoting our responses! ;-) We listen to our employees but acknowledge that the resolution an individual employee seeks is not always the best answer for their co-workers or the company as a whole. On this note, we did have to make some difficult decisions surrounding the pandemic. COVID-19 has been and continues to be very uncertain. Although we had maintained our full workforce with full pay for the initial weeks of the various lockdowns, despite the fact that many of our positions cannot be performed if our campus is not open, unfortunately this is not a sustainable long-term option. Many of our hourly positions cannot be effectively and efficiently performed remotely and as an essential business operating in the pharmaceutical industry it was important to maintain operations as best we can. It was a very difficult decision to release some of our on-campus staff, and we hope that the severance packages offered to them will help in part to sustain during a difficult economic time for everyone. We are starting to operate “business as usual” and are confident we will be able to continue our growth as the year continues. Should there every be concerns with management, we encourage all employees to come to HR and discuss in more detail. We wish you luck in your future endeavors.
