Pros

Innovative Projects: IQVIA provides opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. This fosters a stimulating environment for those passionate about making a difference in these fields. Global Presence: IQVIA’s global footprint offers the chance to collaborate with colleagues from around the world, bringing diverse perspectives and enriching professional experiences. Training Opportunities: There are various training and development programs available, which are beneficial for career growth and skill enhancement.

Cons

Salary Promotions: One major downside is the lack of regular promotions on salary. This can be demotivating for employees who are looking for financial growth in parallel with their career advancement. Equipment Quality: As a software engineer, I have found the equipment provided to be insufficient for the demands of the job. This can hinder productivity and affect the quality of work. Work-Life Balance: The workload can be quite heavy at times, which may impact the work-life balance, especially during peak project periods. Management Communication: There can be a gap in communication between the management and employees. Clearer, more transparent communication would help in aligning goals and expectations.

Pros

Work from home, good salary, good work life balance, good coworkers.

Cons

I worked for IQVIA as a CTA for about a year and a half. It was fantastic and decided to become a CRA. After a year of being a CRA, they decided to fire me for an SOP violation I had when I was three months into my CTA role, AFTER my promotion and three raises. I had a minor misdemeanor. I paid a fine and never did jail time or otherwise. It did not affect the company at all. I had good metrics and was a good worker, yet they fired me for not informing HR of the misdemeanor. Right before the holidays too.

Pros

Working with some talented individuals. Benefits are decent.

Cons

1. Pay does not match the hours needed - and bonuses are even worse. Feedback is always "you should be thankful to have a job." Management is also keen on holding individuals back. 2. Critically understaffed across info/data (Xponent, LAAD, NPA, Client Information Managers, Product Management, Operations). All you have time to do is run from fire to fire. 3. Info Solutions Management takes credit for the work done by the teams and their managers/directors. They do not give credit to others - only those who are "favorites." They do not take feedback - at all - and are not open to alternative ways of completing something. 4. There is no investment or innovation. Very antiquated. 5. Sales dumps their work and is never held responsible. Poor sales management decisions have led to an exodus of skilled people. 6. Once Info Solutions leadership has an opinion of someone, it is not able to be changed. They are branded for their entire tenure (unless they escape Info Solutions).
