Good Experience - Senior Scientist PPD Employee Review

Pros

This is a great place to work to gain experience. The benefits are excellent, the pay is good, and there is opportunity for advancement. Emphasis is on integrity and producing scientifically sound data. Employees seem to fall into 2 groups - people who work here for 2-3 years to pay off student loans or gain experience before going on the grad school or medical school, and those who are here for the long haul.

Cons

The company culture is such that you are expected to work extremely hard at all times. Like everywhere else nowadays, we do more work with less staff, and sometimes people get tired of the constant pressure to do more. You have to be able to let go of that stress, and not let it get to you.

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)
