Pros

Exposure for non-clinical associates to be exposed to the industry....However the cons outweigh this benefit. Nice co-workers who enjoy what they do

Cons

This company is very crafty at "low-balling" all clinical associates in this industry. The company is always hiring because they are always firing. The reason they train is because they want to start individuals at a low salary so that they don't have to pay you the standard salary in the CRO industry for clinical associates. Once a person with the company gets close to standard pay in the industry, they fire them and give their studies to the underpaid associates, the companies cunning business trick to overwork and underpay hard working individuals in this industry and not have to pay employees their worth. If you are a CRA with current exposure to the industry work for another CRO instead of Medpace so you can get paid the standard salary in this industry and have a stable job and work life balance. If you do have to work for this company in order to gain exposure into the clinical market make sure to proceed with as much precaution as possible. Work smart every single day and have copies of everything important in regards to your employment or anything that you sign so that when they low-ball you, you can protect yourself. I wouldn't advise working with this company for more than a year or 2 at most, the company seems like they are in financial trouble. they are constantly looking for someone to buy them and there are always so many CRAs without any studies waiting for assignment. Medpace would be a better company if they would fix their training program, treat employees valuable in all respects especially employees that are located outside of headquarters location. I understand that all companies have their issues and are not perfect but in comparison to other CRO'S Medpace does not compare at all. Switching companies was the best decision I've made thus far. Overall be smart and proceed with caution if you do decide to work for this company hopefully don't ignore the warnings and work smart.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, nice office space. Good work/life balance. The free gym is nice.

Cons

They market the free lunch, it's terrible. They hire a large group of people and don't provide great training. They have the philosophy of throwing everything at the wall and waiting to see what sticks. I was trained by other interns, not a trainer or my manager

Pros

Medpace offers a client-centric approach and provides their staff with the resources and tools to get the job done. While some CROs focus on adhering to budget, Medpace allows their teams to focus on quality by separating the project team from the finances. Teams have the ability to focus on a quality product for their client. Medpace offers employment opportunities and paid internships for individuals just out of college and searching for an opportunity to learn the pharmaceutical research business.

Cons

Medical benefits could be better- high premiums and copays.
