Company in restructuration

Senior product designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-personal life balance. Competitive salary and good benefits, even though other companies might offer more.

Cons

Since the restructuration that happened on spring 2021, multiple people have been fired or moved over, all of it not in a very political and respectful way... Since then, new design leaders have been put in place, replacing previous ones that were way more competent and caring. The new leaders "doesn't believe in design by democracy", and think that "not everything should be validated with users". That mindset being translated into them taking all decisions without consulting or involving the team, without having any user validation, not considering the designers in place and not giving any career progression perspective. The design team went from ~22 people to 7 in just 6 months, everyone giving their resignation one after the other over the bad management. All of this being directly reflected in the products quality Medidata is creating...

Individually everyone's great but there's a lot of broken promises

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of the people are friendly and nice to work with. Socialising is fun and the new office is great.

Cons

Management make promises and then backtrack on them. Teams are constantly being reorganised so no-one really knows who to speak to about certain things. Pay rises are next-to-nothing and trying for a promotion is also like herding cats.

Incompetent managers and VP with no expertise and focus on quality.
