Medidata Solutions reviews

There is a specific high level individual over a critical team in the company that is a bully and manages by fear. He belittles people and is very condescending. This takes place in front of your peers as well as your subordinates. He is extremely controlling. Doesn’t trust anyone to do their job. Everything you do you have to ask permission. If it’s not done his way, you get written up. He’s not truthful in his comments and never asks for explanation. He’s protected. No one will do anything to protect the employees against him. Ex employees have complained to HR about him but they do nothing. That being said everyone suffers.

but meetings lack team engagement without much interaction from team members and I came from a different role where everyone was engaged and friendly and was hoping for that but adopted the silent non-engagement culture of my team. The engineering manager and product owner tried to make calls more engaging but for whatever reason individual members would just not talk or share. One or two of them would if you talked to them individually but don't expect too much camaraderie depending on what team you're on. I accidentally joined a different team's meeting once and it was a lot of arguing and aggressive finger pointing. No explanation of overall team changes and expectations. Manager meetings are not regular and confusing because you hear one thing and then get told another thing. There's very little consistency and you have to figure out mostly on your own how to be successful. Was laid off during PTO after being assured by various managers that the company wants current employees to excel and improve. So I'm not sure what happened and the miscommunication between different tiers is very unprofessional and confusing.
