A horrible place to work

Pros

They pay on a regular basis, even if it's not very well.

Cons

PPD functions by taking people fresh out of college who don't have a good idea of what their skill set is worth, and working them hard until they either quit in frustration or until management can find an excuse to fire them. Expect all of your work to be a rush priority. If you are hired by this company for a lab position, expect to be in constant competition with your co-workers for the equipment you need to complete your job duties. Don't expect hard work to be rewarded by this company.

No ERP systems for majority of the business sectors. Running a major corporation on spreadsheets. They need a major shakeup of all VP and other management level.

Pros

Employees are very happy, company has good benefits for its employees and the attitude is very fair for balancing home and work life. Flexible hours balance nicely with the structure of the company and the nature of the work.

Cons

As an entry level scientist it is a good opportunity to gain lab experience and learn about the industry. After a few levels of promotion you plateau with salary and advancement usually.
