Pros

- Partial WFH available (at least for now...) - Lots of entry-level positions - Good people to work with - Mostly slow-paced (depends on position, and work pace varies with the seasons) - Many opportunities to build skills in leadership and client relations - Several scheduled promotions & raises over the first 2 years (my salary increased by $30k since starting) - Lower management is respectful of your personal time & doesn't fight against you using your PTO

Cons

- Strict non-compete agreement. Good luck finding a new job in clinical research if you don't like it here. - Awful starting pay - Harsh punishments for not adhering to company policy (just had mass layoffs in 2024 for people not adhering to WFH policy...feels like an excuse to cut costs without calling it that. A lot of good workers got laid off.) - Raise rates are slowing down (they were great last year, bad this year) - Company strategizes layoff timing to avoid paying scheduled bonuses - WFH seems to be getting phased out (they just introduced an incentive to not use your WFH days) - Too many meetings - Compensation is sub-par - Troendle himself has to approve every change to the business, so raises, promotions, and hiring of new staff are often denied or delayed because of him

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are proud of the advancement opportunities we provide to our employees and we have multiple levels structured within each position in order to provide a way for our associates to have opportunities for advancement. Regarding our compete agreement, this is a very common practice in competitive industries, such as ours. Medpace notifies all candidates who interview of our employment contract prior to offering a position. This allows each candidate to evaluate if the non-compete agreement is something they feel comfortable with prior to joining the organization. As Medpace is in a highly regulated industry, and we hold our employees to the highest level of compliance with all Medpace policies. Failure to comply with any Medpace policy, for example the Remote Work Policy, may impace eligibility for discretionary bonus, merit, or employment.

Pros

Good experience for people right out of school

Cons

Lots of favoritism and office politics. Felt very unappreciated. Strongly suggest looking for something else if you are not one of the favored employees after a couple years
