Pluspunten

There really weren’t a ton of pros to be honest. One positive thing is they hire unexperienced & let you get your foot in the door. You build bonds with coworkers since you all hate the place and dread every day. Most CTMs I had were nice.

Minpunten

I left the company for a new CRA position and it’s truly mind boggling how horrible of a CRO Medpace is. The pay is actually laughable. I make more at a level one position now than a Sr. CRA made at Medpace. I’m convinced they critique and work on PACE so much due to them knowing they’re always going to have a high turnover rate due to how atrocious the pay is. Not only do they have a high turnover rate due to people voluntarily leaving, be on the lookout for randomly getting fired for (what seems to be) no reason at all. Didn’t happen to me but to plenty colleagues. Most conveniently happen in February right before the annual bonuses go out, so that’s pretty gross. The systems (IVRS & EDC) are incredibly outdated. They look like they haven’t received updates since early 2000s. Nothing feels streamlined. All-in-all, don’t work here unless you absolutely need a job and want to get your foot in the door of clinical research. I was incredibly stressed all the time by the miserably low pay and the toxic work environment.

Thank you for leaving a review. Although we are disappointed to hear that you had a negative experience within the organization, we understand that the high standards to which we ask our employees to excel at are not for everyone. This is what we believe distinguishes us from other CROs. We work hard to ensure we are place that attracts employees not just for the short term, but are a place that our associates can grow in their career. With our CRAs in particular we reward them not just with base compensation but with an opportunity to earn significant additional compensation tied directly to their travel and performance as well as the opportunity to earn Medpace equity awards very early in their career. We are extremely proud of the diverse culture we promote here at Medpace. We value employees from all different backgrounds and believe that contributes to much of our success. We love to bring in individuals with no experience to train them up in the industry and give them an opportunity to continue advancing. Contrary to your comments, we consistently work with our Compensation and Benefits team to review salary and benchmarks to assure we are aligned with the market while also being competitive in the industry. We do acknowledge that Medpace is not a fit for everyone, and we are okay with that. Every employee has different needs, and it is unrealistic to think we can meet all of them. However, we always try our best to make every employee feel valued and satisfied in their position at the organization. We encourage all employees to address concerns with their manager or HR representative while employed with us so we can try to fix any issues that may arise. It is apparent that Medpace was not the best fit for you, but we wish you luck in your future endeavors.
