Terrible!!

Pros

Great office, game room which has Pool, PS4, Foosball, etc. Never runs out on Coffee! Overall you have to appreciate the trying to be cool attitude of everything. Work is relatively easy and has decent work-life balance.

Cons

Mid-level(non executive) Management is simply terrible. These people would not be there had it not been for how long they have managed to stay in the company. They shuffle teams around sporadically. There is weekly feedback, but don't let that fool you. You might be under the impression that you are doing great but then comes the yearly feedback, and you might be shocked. I felt like the work i was doing was boring and I have definitely lost some of my brain cells. You have to write dummy proof code so that everyone understands. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this 3+ review must have been paid for by someone. This is definitely not more than a 2. Stay away from this if you can! Unfortunately, I do like the CEO and chairman a lot and they are great.

Pros

Everything that Medidata is rumored for: great space and feel, good people that are dedicated, real mission and meaning.

Cons

There are some pockets of serious disfunction. Everything is so positive and safe that no one can easily express problems without being labeled a problem.

Thank you for your positive comments about Medidata’s space and feel; culture is everything to us! As our employees know, we live and breathe our mission and we believe it makes for dedicated and motivated workers. To address your point about not being able to express problems, we have an anonymous "Ask Exec" feature which allows employees to raise issues to executives, which gives us visibiilty into where we need to drill down. Managers who are struggling are given coaching and development opportunities, which may not be visible to others. The HR Business Partners work behind the scenes with these leaders and most recently we added several staff to our team to improve the coverage of HR to line management.
