No work life balance or consistency

Pros

Unlimited sick leave and good benefits. Most employees are hard workers and knowledgeable.

Cons

Quintiles leaves the utilization of perks (i.e work from home, flex schedules, work life balance issues) to management discretion. Therefore if you management changes and it will about every year or so, so does the rules and the administration of those rules. You could be allowed to work from home for 3yrs and all of a sudden it is no longer allowed. HR does not effectively manage dispute resolution or provide assistance or protection to employees even if you are a good worker and have been an employee for almost 10 yrs.

Pros

Knowledgable, professional colleagues, huge experience, big company

Cons

New management of training department is not supportive and difficult to communicate with. The feeling is they do not understand what they do. The system of trainings is almost destroyed by them. I feel less and less support for my staff. Workload for key bread-makers is not balanced at all. I am pushed to convince people they do not work much...it is very painfull to observe such changes versus highest standards in communication and quality we followed in the past.
