Medpace reviews about "training"

Managers very busy and don’t have spare time

Everything else is just ah

Company will terminate 'under performing" employees during the first month of the training program. This is done after the first mock presentation. They are no second chances.

no flexibility, communication from US management is not great at all

The strictness of the policy is often cited alongside other "old-school" corporate policies—such as strict 8.5-hour logging and limited remote work—making it harder for the company to compete for top-tier software engineering talent who prioritize flexible, modern work cultures. Misaligned Industry Standards: For software developers accustomed to a tech-first culture (where jeans and hoodies are the norm), the requirement for business casual attire feels outdated and unnecessary for roles with no client-facing interaction.

Make you of above and beyond job expectations Poor salary

Medpace eat up fresh PhD students, chew them up and spit them out. The aCTM pathway is truly horrendous. They put you through a year or two of being a project coordinator, where you are treated horrendously as you are the bottom of the pile. They then put you through a 5 month aCTM ‘training’ programme where you are critiqued on font styles in PowerPoint presentations and shouted at by egotistical senior CTMs when you ask relevant questions that would actually help your learning and development because you are told you are not allowed to ask questions. You are given no direction on when/what you need to do for promotion. Despite what they tell you there is no guarantee you will be promoted and if the trainers don’t like you, you won’t be promoted. If you are promoted to CTM you are given no training apart from a few PowerPoint slides and then left completely unsupported. The culture of bullying from senior members of staff is truly shocking and widespread. The company do nothing to protect you if you are bullied, they gaslight you into thinking that you are the issue and unfortunately don’t take any actions on the individuals who are bullying, allowing them to go on and continue to bully even more members of staff. During monthly meetings, CTMs are subjected to being told how bad they are, belittled and told how good they have it compared to other companies. You are expected to work a lot of unpaid overtime at all hours, travel with no additional pay or time back and then despite hitting your objectives and going above and beyond, you are given a trashy bonus if a bonus at all. With 2 weeks notice, they changed the work from home policy, removing a large amount of work from home days, leaving little time to organise changes to childcare. The company do not allow flexibility on the work from home policy for any reason, including severe weather. If you are thinking about applying for Medpace, I would advise that you don’t and join another company that will not bully you and are committed to training and developing you in a positive environment, celebrating you and your achievements. Medpace sucks the life out of you, don’t make the same mistake as everyone else did.

The training is complicated, There is no feedback from managers on how to improve your job performance but they're happy to fire you without it. Sure you can get experience but honestly the pay is below average and the work environment isn't set up for success.
