Nice Benefits, Executive Management Lost at Sea

Pros

Good health benefits, stress management programs, diet programs, smoking cessation programs. Ability to have a paid day off in exchange for voluntary work day Nice people Excellent Salary

Cons

Management is lost at sea and can't change course. Quintiles has now reached a size that is not easy to change course. The overburdening SOPs combined with the pervasive "that's not my job" attitude is slowly chipping away at what was once an exciting place to work. Don't expect a personal life when working for Quintiles. There is no such thing as a vacation. They would like everyone to believe that they are there for patients and the human factor is important as are their employees, in the end it all comes down to the almighty $. Something that has only been exaggerated since Tom took the reins. Employee engagement continues to decline. Rumor has it there is a hiring freeze and lay-offs are silently happening due to the pending merger with IMS.

Pros

Working as a monopoly so there are always customers that need data and you're the supplier ....... Payscales are not bad.

Cons

Customers don't love you - they have to work with you. Too many employees that know only pieces of what they should know instead of "true experts" (aka "The IMS Bus" where too many IMS'ers are required to attend and participate in sales calls/presentations, often out-numbering the customer contacts).

Pros

If you are bored and have no clear career path, it's a decent place to experiment your skills, however, you will not have time to dabble in other areas, and will be pretty much bogged down by what is on your plate. Work is very stressful - culturally fit for singles and people who have no family commitments/priorities People here are great to work with always focused on delivering the end product

Cons

The organization previously was Outcome Research, and since its buyout by Quintiles went through 3 reorgs within a span of 3 years. Essentially Quintiles as a whole does not profit largely from this business unit, hence justifying the many reorgs. Middle management is very political and very devious in its communication to its subordinates.
