Avoid at all costs - London office - Anonymous employee Medpace Employee Review

Great place to work !

No cons I can think of

N/A can’t think of one.

The timing of recent layoffs shortly before the holidays created significant stress and uncertainty among remaining employees. While I understand that difficult business decisions sometimes need to be made, announcing large scale terminations during this period understandably caused fear, anxiety, and decreased morale for those who were left wondering if they might be next. This atmosphere made it difficult for employees to focus fully on their work and enjoy what is typically a meaningful time of year. Greater transparency around the reasoning, future plans, and reassurance for remaining staff would have helped reduce speculation and emotional strain. During the recent snowstorm, employees were required to use their quarterly wfh allotment or borrow from a future quarter despite hazardous travel conditions and the fact that many roles can be fully performed remotely. While I understand the importance of maintaining consistent policies, situations involving extreme weather feel exceptional and create unnecessary stress for employees who are still prepared to work productively from home while prioritizing safety. This situation highlighted an opportunity for improvement. Offering a complimentary remote day during extreme conditions would demonstrate stronger support for employee well being while allowing business operations to continue smoothly.
