Pros

Medidata employees a lot of smart people, and is generally a satisfying place to work. The hours are reasonable, PTO policies are generous, and overall I haven't met many outright jerks here, at least in Engineering. I also think there are plenty of opportunities to develop your skills and career here. I do think the culture is fairly team-dependent however, so YMMV.

Cons

If you work on one of the large products, you will almost certainly find yourself maintaining legacy code and scrambling to pay back tech debt. The overall corporate direction also seems to shift frequently, with totally new objectives and focus each year, with little discussion of what happened, say, two years ago.

Pros

I was able to get a lot of work done on days I was allowed to WFH

Cons

My team of 10 people are all spread out and working in multiple different states and countries so I was the only one subjected to going into the office because I’m geographically closest. The two hours I spent commuting are two hours less I was working.
