PPD reviews

PPD is hiring a lot of student out of college right now because the GMP portion in Middleton, WI is doing well and gaining clients. However, PPD is all about money. Promotions only occur in April of each year, unless you apply for a different position within the company. Because PPD hired so many people last year, some may not get the promotions they deserve solely because PPD doesn't want to spend that much money. Promotions aren't based on your work and how well you perform, they're mostly based off of length of service there. Someone who started in June will get a promotion over someone who started in July of the previous year. Everyone in the office hates on PPD. No one actually WANTS to be there because corporate tries to act like they care about employees…they have a terrible way of showing that. I've made many good friends from working at PPD, however, every one of them intends on leaving in the near future.

The senior site leadership is lacking in most categories - communication being one of the most glaring. Decisions are made about personnel without ever talking to the affected staff. Most of the management are disconnected from the actual technical aspects of the business that they manage. As such, most of the staff are treated like replaceable cogs. If one gets worn out, it gets replaced.
