Pros

At the time I worked there, PPD provided exceptional training and promoted a healthy work-life balance— given the job.

Cons

Career growth was very time specific. Even employees who demonstrated high performance would not be promoted beyond specific time minimums.

Pros

Able to work from home

Cons

-Unrealistic allocation of studies/sites -More metrics centered than caring about the quality of work -Disrespectful, rude, inexperienced management creating hostile work environment. -You'll never get any support from management -Unrealistic project timelines -High level of micromanagement and meetings making getting actual work done nearly impossible. -Thermo Fisher bought PPD and took away holidays (i.e. day after Thanksgiving and xmas), took away PTO. -Overall one of the worse companies I have ever worked for
