Pros

Medpace is a fast growing organization with a strong positioning in the little-mid size pharma-biotech. Company does not pretend to manage trials in all the therapeutic areas but only where she has a extensive expertise through her strong scientific medical-regulatory leaders recognized worldwide. Medpace assumes leadership in all the program assigned, accompanying the clients until the timely delivery of the service. Also the decision process is quick ed well coordinated.good company to work and gain an important experience in this moment of continue growth!

Cons

Everything centralized in the Us headquarter. Also APAC area is very limited developed.

Pros

The growth. Personal growth potential has historically been great. Fast company growth has created opportunities one wouldn't get anywhere else. Free lunches are provided daily, along with gym and fitness classes. Food trucks stop by several times a week for something different, and recent announcements reveal huge development plans around the campus (hotel, restaurants, etc.). Mid-size means access to executives is still a reality. Outside hires in high positions may change the culture...things like working from home could some day become possible.

Cons

The growth. Some departments are understaffed, others are overstaffed. Executive access is still available but is decreasing. Inability to make decisions without director and executive involvement. Trend of working with biotechs creates micromanaging monsters on the sponsor side, operationally. Size is still small enough that the client has direct executive/CEO access to complain about you personally. With the exception of CRAs, the training is inadequate, at best. Flexibility is a coin toss--just depends on who your supervisor is. Overall morale is very mediocre. Compensation is good but certainly not fair considering the stress and demands of the job.

Pros

This company gave me a chance to get into clinical research when others would not. Thanks to Medpace, I have found a field I enjoy. The free lunch and soda/coffee/tea is nice. Food trucks come to the area a couple times a week. The office environment is quiet and the cubicles are large and not shared.

Cons

Where do I begin? There is so much pressure, stress, and anxiety here to perform. Many here work 40+ hours with CRAs working 60+ a week. Management understands this is a problem but has no idea how to alleviate it. New employees are being hired but sponsors do not want to work with new CRAs and the experienced ones get more work. The morale is incredibly low. I could go on, but I just feel depressed walking in the doors of this building. I cannot wait to work for a company with a better attitude.
