Good training, heavy workload

Pros

A good place for training in the CRO industry training. Good SOPs. Good document templates and standardized forms and procedures.

Cons

Studies are understaffed across all departments which results in heavy workloads for all. Very fast work pace. Overtime is a regular occurrence for which salaried employees are not paid. Difficult to get support both inter- and intra- departmentally, as everyone is so overloaded.

Pros

PPD is a very strong and growing company. They are well poised to continue to gain market share in an industry that will continue to grow. Many positions give you the flexibility to work at the office or from home

Cons

In BD there is a lot of travel. People at PPD put in a ton of hours and that is just the expected. I believe it is standard in the industry
