Pros

Flexibility to work from home

Cons

Transition between team leaders was not optimal. Resourcing for study start up was always a challenge leading to lots of frustration. When help was requested - attitude was like - sort it out yourself. There are some very very good people at PPD.

Pros

You can more or less set up your own schedule and there are incentives for doing extra work.

Cons

The only real downside is the pay but PPD is a great place to start out and the environments much better than its competitors.

Pros

Good benefits Good vacation time Positive work culture, work with professionals Almost everyone is human

Cons

Some clients are better than others to work for. I just switched projects from one client to another. The former client was much more laid back and respectful that I was a professional. The current client is not as respectful. The salary is not comparable to working in retail pharmacy but I do not care as retail pharmacy was killing me. And I think I can speak for most pharmacists who work here with regard to that.
