Pros

Good place to start your career and learn GMP. The first three months of training is very comprehensive, but training after that is very basic. You get exposed to multiple techniques.

Cons

Low wages. Career progression is very limited. Very high turnover. Workload can be very high at times. Majority of management are either toxic or unqualified. Senior management was brought in to address concerns, but nothing was done

Pros

PPD was such a great company to work for. Very fast paced, lots of challenge. Great people and innovative work.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging as workloads are too high. Salaries for longer tenure employees is too low and not keeping up with new hires. But the largest con has been the acquisition by Thermo Fisher and how it has changed our culture. Not impressed with their leadership and how out of touch they are with the needs of PPD employees. As the acquisition is fully underway, realize how outdated many of their talent processes are. Feels like we've taken a big step backwards

Pros

Flexible work schedule (no login/logout) Full remote option

Cons

PROD-BASED OUTPUT: This means that you have to complete 8 hours of tasks of everyday but the 8 hours of work is impossible to complete within your shift. Meaning you have to spend more than 8 hours to complete the tasks and this is not considered as overtime. If you can’t finish the task on time, you are labelled as inefficient and you’re the problem. Career growth: Internal movement is impossible unless you personally know the hiring manager Salary increase: Minimal (3%) Rewards: No rewards given for performance Management: Concerns falls into deaf ears. Defends higher management for toxic and unfair workload
