Pros

Work from home is big 10-5 culture. (if this appeals to you) Very little work (again, if this appeals to you, it doesn't to me.)

Cons

Absolutely no direction. At all. Glen and Tarek are tactically brilliant but strategically incompetent. They know how to build a company from 1-10, but not from 11-100. Senior leadership is possibly the most incompetent that I have seen in my career. A very high level of employee churn. Mid to high level employees leave at an incredibly high rate. Low levels are safe and stay a bit though. I've seen banks and big corporates that are 100 times the size of Medidata that are less siloed and bureaucratic. Silos exists not just across business functions but also within business functions. No two products know what each other is doing. No two business functions know what the other is doing (Sales , Marketing, Product don't know what each other is doing) Company culture is non existent. It feels like a bunch of strangers working out of a WeWork than a well-oiled machine or a combined entity. Product SUCKS!!!! Aside from Rave, all their other products are either mediocre or an absolute disaster. They keep building more products and building them out more without addressing underlying bugs and problems. And now the competition is catching up. Finally, can the HR team STOP posting these, fake reviews? This is actually a 1 or 2 star company once you get rid of the fake reviews

Pros

The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

Cons

After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
