Pros

Work from home is big 10-5 culture. (if this appeals to you) Very little work (again, if this appeals to you, it doesn't to me.)

Cons

Absolutely no direction. At all. Glen and Tarek are tactically brilliant but strategically incompetent. They know how to build a company from 1-10, but not from 11-100. Senior leadership is possibly the most incompetent that I have seen in my career. A very high level of employee churn. Mid to high level employees leave at an incredibly high rate. Low levels are safe and stay a bit though. I've seen banks and big corporates that are 100 times the size of Medidata that are less siloed and bureaucratic. Silos exists not just across business functions but also within business functions. No two products know what each other is doing. No two business functions know what the other is doing (Sales , Marketing, Product don't know what each other is doing) Company culture is non existent. It feels like a bunch of strangers working out of a WeWork than a well-oiled machine or a combined entity. Product SUCKS!!!! Aside from Rave, all their other products are either mediocre or an absolute disaster. They keep building more products and building them out more without addressing underlying bugs and problems. And now the competition is catching up. Finally, can the HR team STOP posting these, fake reviews? This is actually a 1 or 2 star company once you get rid of the fake reviews

Pros

great people, flexible pto (at least while i was there)

Cons

enforced RTO 3x a week for those outside the 25mile radius, without considering commute time (commute can take more than an hour even if it's under 25 miles). most of my team was remote so I was going into the office to take zoom calls which I thought was counterproductive. not much room for growth. too many products that are not scalable. sales gets too many contracts signed without fully understanding what should be considered in and out of scope.
