Pros

You get paid at the end of the month

Cons

Horrifically unintegrated company, leading to operational inefficiencies and lots of extra manual work just to "make things work". Every team does their own thing their own way, good luck trying to integrate teams on larger projects. 4+ years following the merger and people are still "legacy-Quintiles" or "legacy-IMS". Both legacy organisations use different systems, processes, etc... Again, good luck integrating teams and coming across as a unified company to clients. Lastly the company did not deal with COVID well: despite clear financial health throughout the pandemic, bonuses and promotions were frozen leading to the loss of many great people. Laptops don't work, the servers were very slow following the shift to work from home, yet the company did nothing to fix the basic IT issues which affect day-to-day productivity. 6 months has been enough to make up my mind: IQVIA is a sorely mismanaged company, with a bottom line saved only by its tech assets and proprietary data.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
