      Pros

      Quintiles offers reasonable wages and benefits. Unequaled opportunities to work on a lot of projects, build experience and learn from some very talented people.

      Cons

      Quintiles is run like a cross between a modern company, medieval court and family owned corner shop. Much of the true decision making is made by a cabal of long term senior managers (tenure over talent) who only work together when an outsider is employed who is seen to threaten their existence by being competent. Formal training was poor

      Pros

      Quintiles offers flexible schedules that include working from home up to 4 days per week. Tuition assistance, money for a personal computer every 3 years, fitness reimbursement & on site fitness centers and cafeterias in some locations are other perks.

      Cons

      In 2013 & 2014, they have eliminated hundreds of US & European jobs under the guise of "globalizing" their operations. In reality, operations have been centralized to low-cost centers in India and South Africa in order to increase profits. Professional growth opportunities for US based employees in data & safety monitoring are almost non-existent. There is also a lack of work/life balance and work loads can be unmanageable due to high turnover rates for data team leads. Schedules were previously tailored to meet client and personal needs, but since the move to low-cost centers in India, US based employees are expected to attend meetings early in the morning or late at night depending on which shift their Indian counterparts work. Lack of focus on the value that US employees bring to the company is a major concern. Emphasis on profits, rather than quality delivered at a reasonable price seems to be the new plan.
