Certara

I started out at Certara in the software division four years ago and have been working in Corporate for the past two years.  Initially, it can be intimidating to work with scientists if you come from a non-scientific background, but the culture is collaborative and people are very willing to spend time with you to teach you the ropes and answer your questions if you ask.  You have to be proactive and seek help if you want to succeed here.  Everything moves at a fast pace so you have to like and thrive in a dynamic environment.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the teamwork and the innovative programs we're working on with our clients to help patients get faster access to critical medicines. The hardest part of the job is maintaining work life balance but there is a lot of flexibility at Certara.  I work from home 2 - 3 days a week.

This company is built from acquisition after Acquisition but they're horrible at integrating these companies and employees. If you're a direct hire it may be slightly better for you. There is little to no growth ladder shared, no banding document in HR or other support functions to reference for how you can scale your career there. The communication from leadership is poor if existent. The oversight is equally poor, the HR department is not well managed. Positive: the flexibility of your schedule and remote work.

I began my day by reviewing my emails. I learned how to multi-task, manage time, and provide support to upper management team. My co-workers were very polite and professional working with them was a pleasure.

The hardest part of my job was terminating employees. The most enjoyable part of my job was hiring employees.

The best thing about Certara is the people and culture. Everyone I have worked with has been talented and friendly. The work is diverse, interesting, and challenging. There is always something new to learn, and people are very willing to share their expertise. The best place I have worked at so far.

As a new employee, I'm very impressed with the positive attitude that I've encountered with everyone I've interacted with. The company culture is one of continuous improvement and positive engagement. The onboarding process has been very engaging and helpful

Certara has a diverse employee population and pays fairly well.  The workload can be a bit heavy at times, but resources are always available to me.  Management is supportive and provides the tools to succeed.  The Raleigh office has a pond, fountain, and walking trail that allows for nice breaks from the indoors.

It was fun to work there and they paid very well and had good benefits, but management had no loyalty to those who helped build the company.

Even if you were producing and meeting goals, your job wasn't safe if management chose to do something different.

It is a Fun environment, collaboration, but high end and quick turnaround expected. The negative is upper management and their expectations and hands in EVERYTHING. In some cases they act as if they can not trust the people doing the work.

When it was smaller, it had a great family environment, but it grew too quickly and some growing pains were not managed properly. However, I did learn a lot and are friends with my ex-colleagues.

Certara is an exciting and innovative place to work. I always am learning something new every day from my colleagues who are internationally respected experts in drug development and regulatory science.
