Pros

Smart co-workers, pretty good compensation and benefits, unlimited PTO.

Cons

2 words: Dassault Systèmes. Medidata was acquired by this company in 2019 and things have gotten incrementally worse every year as Medidata slowly is forced to adopt their systems and culture. Benefits are getting worse, remote work policies are getting worse. Dassault insists on micro-controlling every aspect of internal communication, resulting in janky in-house systems that are hilariously bad and frustrating to use. Also, in the last 1-2 years, senior leadership seems to be replaced quarterly. The ship isn’t sinking yet but it is ROCKING. My 3 stars is frankly generous and is mostly propped up by good years that are now in the rear view mirror.

Pros

The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

Cons

After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
