Pros

PPD was such a great company to work for. Very fast paced, lots of challenge. Great people and innovative work.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging as workloads are too high. Salaries for longer tenure employees is too low and not keeping up with new hires. But the largest con has been the acquisition by Thermo Fisher and how it has changed our culture. Not impressed with their leadership and how out of touch they are with the needs of PPD employees. As the acquisition is fully underway, realize how outdated many of their talent processes are. Feels like we've taken a big step backwards

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
