What is the salary like at Medpace?

Low barrier of entry, easy to find available jobs

Low salaries, your direct managers are decent but the upper management is quick to cut corners

Good place to learn, good team work and relationship with peers, good health care plan.

Authoritary CEO, limited flexibility, low salaries compared with other CROs, bad communication

Lower management and staff have good relationships as they appear to have trauma bonded over the horrible treatment by upper management and CEO.

The start pay and benefits are laughable and the CEO is running the company like an autocracy and disregards any constructive feedback from even the department directors and upper managements. His quarterly staff speeches are extremely insulting and dismissive and after each one more and more people update their resumes and seek employment elsewhere. Managers are increasingly frustrated with the micromanaging style of the CEO and their existence is only to soften the blow of the CEO irrational and chaotic leadership on lower level staff but overall they have no major say in any decisions of where the company is headed. They hire college graduates with very low salaries and expect them to replace highly talented and experienced workers that left out of frustration and they think they are reducing their costs this way but they would pay dearly for all the mistakes that the inexperienced new hires make. With WFH out the window, this place is going downhill fast. I don't want to be here when it hits the rock bottom.

Easy work, great coworkers, decent pay, benefits are okay, decent amount of free time and current manager is wonderful

The GPA requirement is crazy and makes it hard for referrals. The company micromanages you and the constant fluctuations in coworkers is the worst I’ve ever seen. Every single day someone quits and someone new starts a position but only lasts a few weeks if that. The CEO is unflavored at best, the non-compete is insane to ask of people in a specific industry.

Just the team… if it was not because of the people… Also they hire people with no experience so as a first job its ok

Bad salary no flexibility no benefits

Colleagues are in the same hell hole so they get it

Medpace eat up fresh PhD students, chew them up and spit them out. The aCTM pathway is truly horrendous. They put you through a year or two of being a project coordinator, where you are treated horrendously as you are the bottom of the pile. They then put you through a 5 month aCTM ‘training’ programme where you are critiqued on font styles in PowerPoint presentations and shouted at by egotistical senior CTMs when you ask relevant questions that would actually help your learning and development because you are told you are not allowed to ask questions. You are given no direction on when/what you need to do for promotion. Despite what they tell you there is no guarantee you will be promoted and if the trainers don’t like you, you won’t be promoted. If you are promoted to CTM you are given no training apart from a few PowerPoint slides and then left completely unsupported. The culture of bullying from senior members of staff is truly shocking and widespread. The company do nothing to protect you if you are bullied, they gaslight you into thinking that you are the issue and unfortunately don’t take any actions on the individuals who are bullying, allowing them to go on and continue to bully even more members of staff. During monthly meetings, CTMs are subjected to being told how bad they are, belittled and told how good they have it compared to other companies. You are expected to work a lot of unpaid overtime at all hours, travel with no additional pay or time back and then despite hitting your objectives and going above and beyond, you are given a trashy bonus if a bonus at all. With 2 weeks notice, they changed the work from home policy, removing a large amount of work from home days, leaving little time to organise changes to childcare. The company do not allow flexibility on the work from home policy for any reason, including severe weather. If you are thinking about applying for Medpace, I would advise that you don’t and join another company that will not bully you and are committed to training and developing you in a positive environment, celebrating you and your achievements. Medpace sucks the life out of you, don’t make the same mistake as everyone else did.

The pay is competitive, the campus is beautiful

Microaggressions, micro-managing, nepotism, lack of resources, lack of upward mobility/promotion

Great people, good company on resume, interesting industry

Poor pay, poor upper management, very micromanaging

Good pay, merit and bonuses

Doesn’t value your contribution. Strict work from home policy!

Good bonus and better pay than other CROs

WFH policy is ever changing with a view to potentially have all employees go back to fully office based
