Pros

Wide exposure to variety of clients, medical indications, and document types. Decent benefits package which includes money towards health and fitness each month. Very structured training and progression (also a con) - receive lots of training and will progress, albeit very slowly.

Cons

Low pay (but not that far off rest of the industry in the UK - which seems to all be low paid considering the qualifications required). Very structured training and progression - meaning it's difficult to move up the ladder unless according to Quintiles very strict time lines.

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
