      Do NOT work here

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people, doing great work

      Cons

      Profits over people, IMS came in and ruined Q and our culture. The CEO only cares about how much money we can make and nothing about the people at the bottom actually doing the work so he can make his millions. Work life balance is terrible, home based employees do not get printers anymore, no docking stations for new computers, travel plan was slashed in half - now my people have to stay in 1-2 star hotels when they were used to staying in 4-5 star, benefits are laughable. 4 weeks mat leave are you kidding me? No domestic partner benefit (is that even legal). Pharmacy coverage has a clause that states "Where allowed by state laws" so some of it isn't even legal in most states. They don't care about any of their people and know that they are as replaceable as the next.

      A tale of a big data company owning a management consulting group

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The partners (and VERY select junior staff) are the groups greatest assets, as they provide a wealth of industry-specific knowledge you'd be hard pressed to find at other firms. If you're in a position where you're managing projects, you can set your schedule such that you don't need to travel to the office every day of the week.

      Cons

      Sigh..I could write a small novel but let's keep it high-level(ish) Contrary to what they tell you in interviews/selling, IMSCG does NOT have access to IMS data, with exception to very select slivers. Why is this? Well, because IMS is a BIG DATA company, not a consulting firm. Earnings come from SELLING DATA, not selling consulting projects. So it is smarter, from a shareholder perspective, for the company to sell the data, rather than let CG leverage it to sell more and higher profile projects. Those are facts, not my opinion. Now that that is established, it'll be pretty easy to analyze why the firm is such garbage. CG is not important to the parent company. Hence, CG is not given the proper resources to operate effectively. This is why you see multiple reviews citing 'high turnover' and 'over-worked, under-appreciated' as well as 'pays significantly lower than competitors' (I can confirm all of those cons are very, very true). So without proper resources and management, the place is an absolute dumpster fire (I won't go into details but essentially everyone is at 200% capacity and hence stressed and miserable all the time; seniors take it out on juniors weekly) The only way this horrible place can be fixed is from a C-suite level, and that is absolutely not happening, would be surprised if this death-hole from hell is around by 2020. Oh one more thing...if you have a reputable MBA, DO NOT WORK HERE IT'S NOT FOR YOU!

      After IMS merger/becoming IQVIA EVERYTHING has gone downhill. All in the name of filling upper management’s pockets.

      Pros

      Ability to work from home. great co-workers (in my department), outside department, not so much. I can’t think of much more, sadly.

      Cons

      Horrible health insurance (Aetna). All perks have been taken away. Upper management sees nothing but dollar signs. We’re pressured to peddle faster which impedes ability to do quality work.
