PPD reviews

The best part of this job is very balanced work-life. You get 1-2 days/week work from home days in average which is unthinkable in wet lab jobs. You get decent pay compared to the living expenses in the Madison/Middleton area. You get a lot of vacations (22 business days, 3 floating Holidays in addition to company holidays and volunteer time off). Management is very professional and friendly. Another big advantage is their extensive training program whoch is one of the best I think. No company will train you so much while paying you. Although this sometimes becomes boring and overwhelming. Also work hours are very flexible if you are in a good team. PPD was already a big company on its own, now being merged with a giant like Thermofisher Scientific allows that big company job security, stability and immigration benefits if you are an immigrant.

Flexibility is good, but really depends on your Supervisor. Donuts are offered once a month, but that’ll be taken away soon too knowing there history.
