A good 1st job out of college - Associate Scientist PPD Employee Review

Pros

At least at the Richmond site, there are a lot of fun, young employees so it's a good place to make friends. They are willing to hire and train recent college grads so you can get that "1-2 years experience" required for most other positions. The job is relatively easy and low stress and managment tolerates lots of slakcing off (so this is only a "pro" if you're looking for an easy job that you're not planing to make a career out of).

Cons

Senior management is not interested in the personal and professional growth of their employees; they are only concerned with their bottom line.

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
