Pros

Pros include the flexibility, I am able to work from home and have never had an issue when I needed to rearrange my schedule or take off time. The experience and diversity of clients and co-workers is a plus. PPD also has decent facilities and social events.

Cons

Salary is very low compared to other CROs (large and small). Hard work and performance is not rewarded and management is completely out of touch. The biggest con is also the outsourcing they now do with the Philippines, allowing staff in the Wilmington location to be laid off and replaced by much lower paid staff in PHI. PPD has turned into another greedy corporation looking for the cheapest labor and highest return, no matter who they screw over (employees and clients).

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
