Pros

Free fountain drinks and coffee

Cons

I would strongly advise against working at Medpace or engaging with them as a partner. My experience at this company was nothing short of disastrous, Leadership (mostly CEO) is incredibly out of touch with the reality of day to day operations. There's a serious lack of communication and transparency from the top down. Instead of fostering an open and collaborative culture. they cultivate a climate of fear and micromanagement. The executive team seems more concerned with their own self-interest than the well-being of employees or the company as a whole. As for the work environment, it's toxic/ The pressure to constantly perform at unrealistic levels creates an atmosphere of stress and burnout. Management doesn't seem to care about employee retention or work life balance. Instead they expect you to grind endlessly with little regard for personal well being. Medpace is a company that lacks employee respect, has poor leadership, and fosters a toxic, high pressure environment. I wouldn't trust them with any more of my career than I already have. Stay far away if you value your well being and integrity.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
