PPD Associate Applications Administrator reviews

They expect you to use old custom built software that has little to no documentation and they get mad when you don't know how to do scientific calculations on it when the job you were hired for was to help with oracle and Linux. They underpay criminally and if you're on the tech side it's easy feel very stuck bc they use tech from the 80s and 90s and you never move up in the company either. The project management structure is cruel and makes no sense. I was expected to work 80 hours 2 weeks after my dad died bc a deadline was suddenly moved up on me. We later ended up postponing anyway bc some testing that was the responsibility of another team had not been done until the last minute and the test failed. If you're in tech avoid this place.

Management focuses on promoting each other or favorite employees. Management struggles to support IT employees due to lack of knowledge. Content pressure from validations to cut corners on software qualification to make timelines. Large workload with turnover increasing. Questions on promotions or pay raises are either dodged/pushed to ask next year.
