Pros

The Home based opportunity is the only benefit to working at PPD. Employees stay only because they can work from home.

Cons

Very impersonal company. You are just a number. Senior leadership for Global Medical Writing and Post Approval Medical Writing are completely incompetent leaders. Post approval medical writing is unable to win new contracts based on bids they submit. Management creates a hostile environment of intimidation and threats. Those who brown nose or pretend to be working except they are at the gym everyday can easily climb the ladder. Those who offer suggestions or ask questions are not afforded growth opportunities. Multiple years of service with no career advancement is typical. Retribution for speaking up is common

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
