Pros

Good benefits and great facilities.

Cons

Lack of professionalism and recognition from Senior Management. The better you perform, the more work you will be assigned, but with no recognition or compensation. There are different performance expectations depending on whom you know.

Pros

PPD is a great place to work and to gain experience in the CRO business. Employees are always allowed to leave early the day before a long weekend holiday. The Employee Stock Purchase Program was a nice perk. Casual attire on Fridays. Good medical, dental, and vision package.

Cons

Executive Management seems to allow limited information to company employees. As with most CRO's, the company depends on the business of pharmaceutical companies. So when pharma cuts back, the CRO business has to make cuts as well.
