No job security for pharmacists
Pros
Pay was good. Met and worked with a lot of great people.
Cons
PPD was great to work for until they were bought by Thermo Fisher Scientific (TFS). Prior to being bought by TFS, PPD always looked out for their employees and took great care of them. Job security was never an issue. If a project closed, PPD was great at always finding a new project for the employees that were impacted. Not so after TFS took over. It's all about the bottom line. Numerous pharmacists have been laid off since TFS bought PPD. There is no job security for pharmacists. Nurses fair better because PPD now seems to have a preference for MIS nurses instead of pharmacists (nurses are way cheaper). Really a sad situation for what was once a great company to work for. Even worse when considering that the original company was "Ask The Pharmacist" (ATP), before being bought out by PPD. PPD still treated pharmacists well, but there was definitely a switch to having more MIS nurses than pharmacists. Then along came TFS. Now look and see how the pharmacists are treated. :(
