Pros

PPD (part of Thermo Fisher) is a great company for entry level professionals out of college. PPD has a great reputable status in the CRO industry as one of the largest CRO's in the United States. Great benefits (especially health for families) and great PTO/vacation.

Cons

Not great at implementing new softwares; training is grouped and no follow-up sessions after main training. Management can be a questionable subject as some managers are not well equip to be managing analyst with lack of communication, strategy, and organization skills for a manager. This in return can set-up the employee up for failure.

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)
