Pros
Your team members will be extremely clever. Some of the most incredible people I've encountered in my career have been Medidatians. I learned an immense amount there, and they have a lot of the best talent in life sciences. The company also has great benefits and policies that treat its employees like real people.
Cons
Half the organization is stuck in "this is how things have always been done" and half of the organization is trying to innovate, but largely based on gut feelings and guesses. At times it can be frustrating to negotiate your projects internally.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that your overall experience at Medidata has been positive. As you know, our mission is to power smarter treatments and healthier people and we pursue it with passion, energy and rigor across the entire organization.
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.
