PPD (Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc.) Employer Reviews

A typical day for myself was to supervise all data entry processing within the department, training, coaching and mentoring. Contact temp agency for potential employees for long-term assignments. I learned quite a bit about how a research study is conducted and the different requirement of the Pharma Client and the FDA. Management was one of the most – more...  difficult to adjust to. We had 3 managers in 3 years all having different managing styles. The hardest part of the job was trying to remain current with a total of 9 people on our team, while updating training records for over 11,000 employees, not to mention the process was manual. The most enjoyable part of the job was the employees worked as a team and chipped in when needed. – less

A lot about the FDA... i really enjoyed the time i worked there...they will teach you a lot

There is not any room for boredom. There is always a lot to do. My coworkers are great.

It is a great place to get started in your career and grow - lots of training and emphasis on quality.

Flexible and good benefits. I would recommend it to a friend.

PPD was a very interesting experience. There was a lot of stress put upon the employees but it was worth it. I did not mind the stress until my father passed. I had to move back to N.Y. and settle his affairs and sell his home.

On the Drug Safety side, it really depends on the Manager you end working for. Some are fair and laid back. They inspire you and you want to do good by them. Others lack, the most basic common curtsey skills and have egos as if they were Gods (Basically they couldn't keep their miserable life from effecting those underneath them). Good thing was it – more...  imploded upon itself and life moved on. My overall experience was good for the most part, once I figured out who was who. Upper management was GREAT. Like most DSMOs, they will work you like a dog, but the compensation was fair. Not to mention the cost of living in North Carolina is cheaper as compared to up North. Insurance coverage was good and a health clinic for employees on site was a nice perk. – less

Nice work environment and co-workers friendly and supportive.

Working for PPD is a very good experience for anyone who wants to persue a job in the medical field. The workplace is so positive and professional. It's a perfect Place to begin your journey in the medical field. PPD also offers so much to their employees and the staff couldn't be more supportive and careing.
