Good company but less supervision to supervisor

Pros

PPD is a great company with good benefits (salary, health insurance, flexibility) and also constantly trainings to improve your works. I have the chance to be in different positions that helps you develop in different areas

Cons

Workload is extremely high, sometimes you have a month that it was not possible to sleep a whole week in your home. I addition, sometimes the supervisor are not supervised by their own supervisor, so many "friendships" starts to grow that do not help the ones that are not the "friends" of the supervisor.

Cons

Low salaries; very hierachial, ciiquesh.

Pros

Casual work environment - flex time allows you to start when you want as long as you are present for core work hours. casual work environment can be a negative at times

Cons

Training not thorough enough. Veteran employees seem to be completely overloaded with work which they are unable to pass on to newer employees because of lack of training
