PPD Richmond ICD Stagnant - Associate Group Leader PPD Employee Review

Pros

Dress code is jeans and T shirt. Can listen (only 1 earbud allowed) to music while doing lab work. Flexible schedule.

Cons

I've observed a concerning employee turnover rate recently. This calendar year, we have lost tens of dissatisfied employees, totaling over 200 years of PPD experience (just in the Richmond ICD). Work/life balance is gritty due to unrealistic expectations. Employees are not promoted or given raises based on merit. The icing on the cake is the retirement of long time director and replacing the position via inexperienced outside hiring rather than promoting an experienced internal candidate.

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)
