Frustrating pay practices - Associate Consultant IQVIA Employee Review

The company shows a pattern of behaviour to stop employees from getting a market-fair salary under the guise of technicalities. From delaying annual hikes to the final quarter of the year, stopping the Impact rewards program (where if an employee won multiple big awards - they only gave the smallest one and cancelled the rest) to stopping already approved promotions just because they stalled it long enough for the employee to leave (on top of regular low one digit annual increments) - the company and the management does everything in their power to weed out meritocracy and reward mediocrity.
