Great technology, staff loyalty is not rewarded

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Certara hires smart, generally nice people who are developing cutting edge technologies that support optimal drug development.

Cons

Employee loyalty is not rewarded. There is almost no promotion from within. Management says that they value diversity, but upper management is almost all white and male. I have seen qualified women and minorities passed up for promotions in favor of less qualified white men.

A "ship" with great products but not leadership and deteriorating values and culture.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues, that's probably the best. Some folks try to please customers and be successful (= make money) as a result of satisfied customers. But the current culture does not really support this. The products are great and many customers rely on Certara to continue to provide the tools that they need, so financially the company is stable - so the management says.

Cons

Notoriously understaffed for the work that needs to be done. As a result, most people, including management are busy fighting fires and have never the time to think ahead. Combine this with lack of leadership and you find that no corporate values have nearly vanished. Little chance of learning and applying leading edge technologies in software development.

Nice perks, toxic upper management

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO, decent health insurance

Cons

Communication from upper management was abysmal. They prioritized a strict waterfall design structure that eliminated any developer creativity and innovation. If you are not a manager and you are not based offshore, be prepared to be laid off.
