Pros

PPD looks for hard working people and if you can demonstrate the excellence you can go to the next level in a short period of time. Great PTO benefits, WFH flexibility.

Cons

With the recent outsourcing, there has been some layoff and would be more but management is not transparent communicating the information. Company is more focused on meeting the financial goals and off track on assessing what can work well from the employee AND financial point of view. In order to please clients to get more business, sometimes unrealistic goals are set which puts burden on project team (extended hrs). Resources are available to assist during crunch time but issue is that they are not trained well enough to pick up the task and could compromise quality. High turnover rate in the last few weeks.

Pros

Excellent training programs, lots of room for growth but promotions are very competitive.

Cons

Recent global restructuring leaves many questions about the future of company unanswered. Too many jobs going overseas. Oftentimes you will be overallocated on projects and need to alert management that you are being overworked. Sometimes this has an effect, sometimes it does not....really depends on your manager. The company culture used to be friendly and fun but now, since everyone is home-based, its a ghost town in the office.
