Private equity sale is ruining a once-great company - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) PPD

--Less pay than other CROs --Works its employees to the bone, and then some --Worse employee morale than at any point in the past decade --People in general no longer feel loyalty or pride in working for PPD, as it is obvious over the past 2-3 years that "PPD" is truly about nothing but "more money, faster". No one thought that it could possibly be worse to be owned by private equity than it was to be 'owned' by the quarterly results and the stock market....but we were all wrong.
