Pros

Everything that Medidata is rumored for: great space and feel, good people that are dedicated, real mission and meaning.

Cons

There are some pockets of serious disfunction. Everything is so positive and safe that no one can easily express problems without being labeled a problem.

Thank you for your positive comments about Medidata’s space and feel; culture is everything to us! As our employees know, we live and breathe our mission and we believe it makes for dedicated and motivated workers. To address your point about not being able to express problems, we have an anonymous "Ask Exec" feature which allows employees to raise issues to executives, which gives us visibiilty into where we need to drill down. Managers who are struggling are given coaching and development opportunities, which may not be visible to others. The HR Business Partners work behind the scenes with these leaders and most recently we added several staff to our team to improve the coverage of HR to line management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good fast paced environment, great colleagues, good work culture , friendly, and wonderful new offices. You can be sure to remain at the "cutting edge" of any thing new in clinical technologies with this Company. Expect something new everyday, and lots of excitement at all times, with lots to learn at all levels. There is a lot of communication from the top down, and the management does a great job in keeping the environment charged up

Cons

This is a growing company, and if you move from a larger company to this one, don't expect everything to be honed to perfection. Internal systems get changed quite frequently, but in a way that's probably part of their growing up.
