Pros

So far I am very happy with my choice to join PPD. I feel valued and appreciated and the clinical management team members are great!

Cons

HR would not negotiate my starting salary and did not offer a hiring bonus and my HR contact sounded as if she could care less if I accepted their offer to join the company or not. It did not feel very welcoming or like they were excited to have me personally. It was more like, here's an offer, accept it or we'll offer it to anyone else. My experience with HR was disappointing and it wasn't the best start. I actually considered turning down the offer. I think it reflects negatively on the company.

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)
