Pros

Nice small game room at New York office with ps4, Xbox one, pool table, etc.

Cons

Very very bad middle management. Direct managers are kind of pain and introduces more obstacles, reduces morale. It's pretty much of my way or highway from senior people working on the team. Teams are ran by a single person , instead of working as a team. Product has no idea what it's doing. HR will say that the company is awesome and the glassdoor reviews are by past management. Dont listen to them. Run as far as you can from this company. You have been warned. :)

Thank you for your review. At Medidata, we hire the best talent, and sometimes that means hiring new managers. This is why we offer new and improved Learning and Development workshops such as “Having Quality Conversations”. We also recently introduced a new Leading at Medidata program for all new leaders to help them understand our culture of collaboration and innovation. Our most recent employee survey results reported an 85% employee engagement score, which most companies would envy. That's not to say we are perfect and some managers need more coaching and development but as we learn of problem areas we do attend to them.

Pros

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.
