PPD Manager, Clinical Data Management reviews

With the recent outsourcing, there has been some layoff and would be more but management is not transparent communicating the information. Company is more focused on meeting the financial goals and off track on assessing what can work well from the employee AND financial point of view. In order to please clients to get more business, sometimes unrealistic goals are set which puts burden on project team (extended hrs). Resources are available to assist during crunch time but issue is that they are not trained well enough to pick up the task and could compromise quality. High turnover rate in the last few weeks.

Salary is very low compared to other CROs (large and small). Hard work and performance is not rewarded and management is completely out of touch. The biggest con is also the outsourcing they now do with the Philippines, allowing staff in the Wilmington location to be laid off and replaced by much lower paid staff in PHI. PPD has turned into another greedy corporation looking for the cheapest labor and highest return, no matter who they screw over (employees and clients).
