Pros
The people seem to be very nice.
Cons
No work/life balance. If you have a lot of work, which is basically every single day of your life at PPD, chances are your manager won't approve PTO even though you really need a day off. Also, you are expected to work at 5 am frequently for the East Coast and as late as midnight for Asia. You can't say no, even if work is majorly affecting your personal life. If you speak up, your voice is not heard. Nothing changes and instead you end up being punished when it comes time for annual reviews. Also, the salary does NOT match the performance. You can be the best on your team and still be below par on salary for your region.
