Pros

Collect a paycheck until your next job.

Cons

Management is only in it for themselves here. Everyone says that AES (a division of PPD) is a financial disaster and no longer able to find good patients for clinics. The executive group shows no leadership and seems only focused on covering mistakes.

Pros

The best parts of the job is the flexibility and the notion that PPD will train anyone with a bachelors in various science fields for a position here. Great place to start after college. Personally, I've had great experiences with management and supervisors overall. Diversified testing experiences available for those who are hungry to learn new tests.

Cons

Major con is that promotions are rare and the ability to climb with your career is very limited here. The company seems to prioritize utilizing fresh college graduates versus paying proven analysts what they deserve. In addition, the company is recently hiring new positions like mad. Therefore, the buildings are getting claustrophobic and clustered full of people.
