Pros
The atmosphere is casual and fun. People work extremely hard but do so while maintaining a sense of humor. There is also a lot of opportunity for advancement, at least in my department. Because we are rapidly changing, there are always opportunities to take on new projects and fix problems you see around even if they're not "part of your job description". If you're interested in something, you're encouraged to get involved with it to really show what you're capable of.
Cons
Things are a little chaotic and because of the rapid growth Medidata is still "figuring it out", but they are trying! Communication is sometimes not the best, and some managers should maybe not be managing...

At Medidata, we work hard & play hard too! With so much to be done in our growing company, we want to make sure to foster an environment with a healthy balance between work & fun. We are in the process of renovating all of our global offices to include amenities such as game rooms, roof top decks, collaboration areas & meditation rooms. We also want to promote team bonding outside of the office so we now sponsor monthly office events to bring our employees together. Whether you’re interested in learning about a new project or team, or you have an idea to get together outside of the office, we encourage all of our employees to speak up and get involved!
The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.
Cons
After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
