      Pros

      Co workers are great, no work to take home , get as much overtime as you want . I'm hearing that job opportunities are great after PPD trains you... It is a great training portal.

      Cons

      Poor directives from management, they have No Idea what there doing! They make poor decisions and are very unorganized.

      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.

      Used to be a great job, now it's a great reference as you look for a new job.

      Pros

      Pros include the flexibility, I am able to work from home and have never had an issue when I needed to rearrange my schedule or take off time. The experience and diversity of clients and co-workers is a plus. PPD also has decent facilities and social events.

      Cons

      Salary is very low compared to other CROs (large and small). Hard work and performance is not rewarded and management is completely out of touch. The biggest con is also the outsourcing they now do with the Philippines, allowing staff in the Wilmington location to be laid off and replaced by much lower paid staff in PHI. PPD has turned into another greedy corporation looking for the cheapest labor and highest return, no matter who they screw over (employees and clients).
