      Used to be great

      Pros

      Once upon a time we had enough people to do the work and we really focused on quality. There are many good people at PPD still and for them I stay, but we need more of them. Great flexibility for working remotely. Certain new systems do seem to be an improvement.

      Cons

      Insufficient staffing to meet project needs. Constant scramble to identify people that actually have time to perform the work they are assigned. On paper people are at 90-100% assigned, but in reality it is 130%+. Changes to support staffing includes shifting jobs to India, Bulgaria and Mexico. So far my experience is very negative as the quality is poor and Sr. Mgmt doesn't seem to want to hear it. Just puts extra work on the client facing team to try to cover for the poor work. Many lifers at PPD so promotion is tough.

      Pros

      Good place to start out if you are interested in the field. Willing to teach analyst on new techniques. Overall good work environment.

      Cons

      Pay is low for the area(Middleton). Can be stressful at times. It's a lot to learn for a first job out of college.

      Pros

      The communications division is definitely an area for potential growth. The most noted attribute was the wonderful staff. Truly helpful and supportive.

      Cons

      Consistency in training would be a big help.
