Pros

Good place to work, great work/life balance especially if you can manage yourself and your time. Nice colleagues as well.

Cons

Decisions made by upper management tend to be quite slow, this can significantly impact career development. Some really good line managers, some not that good.

Pros

Great benefits, work life balance is amazing. Very relaxed work environment awesome place to work for people with lots of experience or someone who has no need to worry about their financial situation. Awesome place to start a career lots of experience in various different techniques.

Cons

Terrible upper management, very very bad pay for lower level analyst. No incentive for lower level analyst to stick around or work harder, unless you have no financial worries in your life. Very long a somewhat unfair process for advancement to better position, 3-5 years for a lower level analyst to reach $20 dollars an hour.

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.
