      Pros

      -training program -company mobile phone -excellent travel department

      Cons

      CEO cares more about money than people. With the CoV-2 pandemic , the company expects CRAs to travel in light of FDA guidance. This is a risk to health and should be reported to the labor Department . The nepotism of the CEO is appalling when good workers are fired for no reason. He’s more into his hotel than providing parking for employees. HR is a joke . They side with more ‘seasoned’ employees over new ones and don’t keep anything confidential . When you complain, you get fired . Their responses to these Glassdoor reviews are laughable . They dangle a bonus (based on your hard work ) over your head to coerce performance. The bonus is supposed to be alleviation for working 60hr weeks during travel times and the company will deny this if you don’t drink the company KookAid.

      Wow! We are taken back by the accusations you’ve made in this review, specifically those made about our CEO, HR department, and the integrity of our company. To begin, Medpace is proud to be able to provide discretionary bonuses and other incentive rewards in addition to standard salary to employees who meet or exceed performance expectations. We understand it can be very disappointing not to receive a desired bonus. However, minimum eligibility and performance standards apply to all employees here at Medpace and are reviewed during this process. Our HR department prioritizes any issues brought forward by our employees. They are all reviewed and then escalated as necessary. We are always willing to address specific concerns and cannot always promise confidentiality. We make it clear that we will escalate depending on the specific concern and sometimes the nature of the concern requires some disclosure in order to resolve. We take all concerns seriously and investigate thoroughly. In regard to COVID-19, this global pandemic is new to all of us. We are navigating as best as we can and assure you we are taking this very seriously. We are complying with CDC guidelines of social distancing in the organization, extra cleaning services regularly throughout the building, and are allowing the majority of our employees to work from home 100% of the time for the next two weeks. This will be evaluated based on new information we get daily on the spread of the virus. For hourly employees who are not able to do their jobs remotely, we are ensuring they are still paid during this time even if they are unable to work their normal hours. The safety and wellbeing of our employees is our number 1 priority. As a healthcare company, we recognize the importance of the clinical trials we are currently running and the need to continue to fight all disease and continue our mission to accelerate the global development of safe and effective medical therapeutics. For our CRAs in particular this does mean continuing to monitor in ways that are safe and effective, and which allow for our clinical patients to still receive the benefits of the drugs or therapies provided to them by virtue of our studies.

      Pros

      Nothing, and I am not exaggerating. Read the reviews. DO NOT WORK HERE.

      Cons

      Everyone is underpaid. And I mean everyone. Software developers can get away with anything. Employees with significant tenure are gods. No one takes responsibility for things that are their fault. This results in errors much later in the software development life cycle being blamed on validation members for “not catching” these problems. Middle management can mistreat employees without being reprimanded. This is because the company doesn’t want to take the time from it’s firehose-speed development to train better and more positive-temperament employees. This company hires anyone and everyone that has the “skills” to do the job. And by skills I mean keywords on a resume, not actual learned proficiency. Some people here don’t know a lick about technology. A monkey could have passed my interview. Most management is awful, or simply does not have the power or respect to get anything changed. Achievements go completely unnoticed. Endless backlog with no goals in sight. NOT AGILE. No business team. Developers talk directly to users and say yes to every proposed feature, piling on more and more custom, non-intuitive features onto already garbage software that is incredibly difficult to validate. All this company cares about is compliance and doing the absolute bare minimum to make it’s employees tolerate the company. It’s laughable. 2020 and no remote policy, absolutely absurd. CEO is awful. The job descriptions lie. Run away screaming for your life from this place. I’ve worked at really good and really bad companies. This is not just specific to my position. Everyone here hates it. Any positive image interviewers paint of Medpace is a lie. Run.

      Yikes! We’re very sorry to hear you have negative feelings toward the organization. With any successful and growing organization, change is to be expected. Admittedly, there has been change in the organization over the last few years due to our high growth rate. We acknowledge that as a company, we do have high standards and expect a lot of our employees. We are extremely excited about the growth we’re seeing, and have plans in place to ensure our organization can keep up with the growth and continue to be successful, while still ensuring our employees enjoy the work environment we have created. In regards to compensation, we review this regularly. We consistently work with our Compensation and Benefits team to review salary and benchmarks to assure we are aligned with the market while also being competitive in the industry. We also acknowledge that Medpace is not a fit for everyone, and we are okay with that. Every employee has different needs, and it is unrealistic to think we can meet all of them. However, we always try our best to make every employee feel valued and satisfied in their position at the organization. It is simply unreasonable to claim all Medpace employees hate their place of work. Our double-digit growth rate begs to differ! :) We encourage you to reach out directly to your HR Representative to discuss in more detail. Thank you!
