Pros

Had many opportunities in my 8 years with PPD to work on many different projects. This willingness is what opened doors. Good benefits. Wilmington is a great place to live.

Cons

Almost impossible to get decisions made at times. Company is not very agile. Many mgmt level employees aren't willing to 'rock the boat' so the status quo is what ends up happening a lot. This issue trickles down and impacts the rest of the organization. Culture issues when it comes to technology - small steps are being made recently though.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
