Medpace Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Medpace full-time

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Medpace full-time

Pros – None
I guess if you like your colleagues then that is the only positive.

Cons – Non-director level positions don't have a private office, set-up is cubicles, there is no privacy as everyone can hear your conversations. There's micromanagement, the directors don't know how to delegate. They need to learn how to delegate the workload. HR does not allow for the employees to socialize so be very careful what you say and watch your behavior. You can be terminated without any reason.

There are better companies than this one.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn how to delegate the workload. Follow the employee's job description. There is no training in place in any department. Need to learn how to implement team building.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Medpace full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Money is good but not better than similar companies. Lots of hardworking people

Cons – Company run on fear. Upper Management is weak and barely credible. Poor respect for employees. Lots of workers are unhappy and scared and are always looking for other opportunities. I want to go too.

Advice to Senior Management – Get some training how to mange people or do something else.

Former Employee – worked at Medpace

Pros – Young workforce. Fast-paced environment. New facilities. Free lunches. 3-weeks vacation starting. Exercise facility onsite.

Cons – No training offered (experience needed or developed individually). Roles not fully fleshed-out. Develop quickly or leave.

Advice to Senior Management – Management staff needs to rotate. Too many titles created beacause no more room in managment. Learn proper management styles.

Current Employee – been working at Medpace

Pros – Coworkers are wonderful people. Company really cares about the employees. Business is growing rapidly so workload can be heavy at times, but that is recognized and time off is encouraged to avoid burn out. Small perks are great- free soda, tea, coffee, and lunch.

Cons – If you don't fit here you don't stay, though that could be a pro or a con. Company gives everyone a chance but does not hesitate to terminate those that don't fit. Work load is high, but not unmanageable. Definitely have to be able to manage your own time and be pro-active in your job.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep supporting and communicating with your employees - both help everyone feel valued and part of the team. We are proud to be working here and want to be able to continue helping the company grow.

Current Employee – been working at Medpace

Pros – Lab Supervisor is very knowledgable and very supportive of the techs.Always there to help. She is very professional when dealing with the more "difficult" employees.

Cons – Long hours somedays. Would be nice to be paid hourly instead of salaried.Lab Director is non existent. Lab is not as "important" as the CRO.

Advice to Senior Management – Lab Supervisor needs additional. Would be nice if upper management listened to her recommendations. She encourages independence but is always there if needed.

Current Employee – been working at Medpace

Pros – Well regarded in the industry, willing to take on new hires with little to no experience. Excellent training program. Multiple protocols to work on.

Cons – Large variation in management styles and expectations. Inconsistent treatment of employees from managers and different departments. Lack of confidence or job security is a common theme among many employees of the clinical operations department.

Advice to Senior Management – Become standardized and fair in the treatment of employees. Be respectful of employees and do not treat employees as if they are trying to scam the systems in place if they have made an honest mistake. Support and back employees in difficult situations.

Former Employee – worked at Medpace

Pros – Quick career progression and support from managers. I was promoted very quickly when working at Medpace and was always given the opportunity to progress.

Cons – Unmanageable workload. As the company got busier and busier, everyone's workload increased exponentially and there was really no work/life balance and that is what prompted me to look elsewhere.

Advice to Senior Management – Please work on ensuring that the employees are not overloaded with work, especially the Clinical Research Associates, who have to travel frequently.

Current Employee – been working at Medpace

Pros – Fun work environment that enables productivity, creativity, and individual and team success. Competitive salary and benefits. Fitness center is free to use.

Cons – Empty Promises and Management Who Do Not Know How to Run a Business

Managers are doctors who micromanage and have control issues but do not know how to make smart business decisions.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire people who know how to manage. You are great at being research professionals and knowledgeable doctors in drug development. However you do not know how to manage or keep employees happy.
