      Solid enterprise, but with flaws...

      Pros

      - The salary is adequate to the position - Very well recognized by clients in the CRO business - Very strong human resource

      Cons

      - Promotions don't occur by merit. It's necessary to wait for a period and some times it does not come. - Workers are not stimulated to exceed their expectations - No bonuses or very low bonuses - Very high work load - There is NO increase in salary wages for Brazil (only promotions) - Timelines are many times impossible to be met - Project planned hours are almost allways not enough.

      Pros

      PPD's greatest strength are the quality of its people. I have met and made many friends. If you don't get sick often, the PTO policy is pretty good. The benefits are definitely better than my last job.

      Cons

      The downside is that there are no real rewards to doing a GREAT job. Managers don't feel a need to compliment you on a job well done, though they are quick to find fault when something goes wrong. And god forbid your boss doesn't like you--it's an atmosphere of your word against your boss. Upper management will side with its own. It's too bad, PPD has a lot of potential, but there's no team feeling when things go wrong and no corresponding rewards when things go right.
