Pros

Still many good people remain in PPD.

Cons

Quickly losing the humanity and strength of the company through layoffs, lower working budgets, lack of investment in technology. Cost cutting is destroying what was unique and valuable in the CRO industry. Too much hierarchy.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
