PPD reviews

Flexibility to have a decent work-life balance depending on your manager

At PPD, work-life balance is not only a cheesy slogen, they are serious about it, and they did implement strong policies to promote such balance. Hats off for that. However, it is difficult to maintian the balance with the workload. It depends on multiple factors: on your line managers, the trial managers you work with on different studies (one works with as many managers as studies they get, some managers are highly competent, others are a bit less), and lastly, it will depend on your team mates as well. In my opinion, it is primordial to try and speak up if you struggle with the workload. They do listen to you and help prioritize. PPD was a very good experience, with helpful and lovely colleagues, I will never regret the time spent at PPD, and would still recommend everyone in my network.
