"I started at PPDI in 1994 when it was W.A.R.S. and watched it progress and get acquired by PPD. The company was bought out in 2012 by the Carlyle Group and decided to go in a different direction to deliver a cheaper workforce and product."

"I worked for PPD for almost 5 years & would still be there if they hadn't moved my job (& the jobs of 24 other IT staff across Europe) to their office in Sofia, Bulgaria. Little did we know that PPD (until 2011 a public company) was going to sell itself to 2 hedge funds & be taken private."
