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

Work-life balance has remained overall positive

Cons

Plenty of people have done a good job explaining the dowfall of this company since the acquisition by Dassault Systemes. TLDR: Upper management consistently makes decisions that harm employees. There is very little overlap between what DS wants and what the employees want. Their priorities are overwhelmingly skewed towards DS interests and requirements. These include but are not limited to: -Return to office -No pay rises for this cycle -Reduced budget for activities -Low salaries/large pay bands -Limited benefits -Limited progression -Limited internal movement

Some great people in the technology departments

Cons

- Enforcing Return to Office for no good reason - Below average pay for location - Huge workload, not worth the pay - No progression - Recent layoffs (5% of company), yet there are still far too many managers who don't do anything
