Pros

Good for new graduates. Good social life and regular socials with free drinks

Cons

Firstly, project coordinators have no progression and also no support. They continue to hire new PCs as they are fundament to the company. Once you become a senior level PC, they will slow your progression as there nowhere left for you to go. Secondly, there is a salary disparity between white colleagues vs POC female colleagues. Thirdly, the new policy that they have put out regarding less WFH was incredibly out of touch and also shows a lack of appreciation for employees. In a meeting about a new WFH policy, which includes significantly lower WFH days, the CEO essentially blamed employees for having a bad quarter and bad profits. He blamed employees for more mistakes being made and also made multiple comments about how the Medpace business model is fully in office so we should not expect to work from home. However, all job openings advertise hybrid work. Additionally, clinical research is losing profits this year so to shift blame to employees working from home is out of touch. The new WFH policy will affect parents the most who have scheduled the last 4 years of their lives around the existing wfh policies. Also, weekly WFH cannot be taken as half days anymore which is what a lot of parents have done over the last 4 years without an issue. Part time employees will also not be entitled to weekly WFH which will also affect new parents who come back to work starting as part time. Also, the fact that the policy was rolled out with a 2 week notice and blamed “parking in Cincinnati” as the reason is the worst excuse I have ever heard.

We are saddened by your view of Medpace and taken back by your comments. We do pride ourselves in offering opportunities to individuals early in their career giving them proper training to grow within the industry and in their career. Medpace values the growth of each employee, which is why we have multiple levels structured within each position for continual advancement opportunities. With regard to WFH, we have made recent changes to our remote work policy in support of our culture of in-office collaboration. We feel that combined with our flexible scheduling, PTO packages, and our updated remote work policy, that employees have flexibility in their work schedule to meet their personal needs. With regard to salaries, we have a designated team that regularly reviews our compensation structure to ensure we are competitive within our industry as well as ensuring that there no discriminatory pay practices. We value a culture of diversity and make it a priority to treat and reward our employees for the work and talent they bring to Medpace. Your comment regarding your perceptions of pay disparity is both inaccurate and concerning and we encourage you to reach out to HR or your line manager to discuss.
