Pros

Work with nice lateral colleagues. Other than that, it’s a bizarre environment. Force you to post multiple social media on your own LinkedIn.

Cons

Do NOT give a two week notice when you quit, they will release you immediately without pay even if you have a baby to feed at home and candidates to make offers to. There are a lot of mixed messages to tell candidates, Multiple Sr recruiters have left in 2021. All competitors pay a much higher rate. There’s a good reason Recruiters don’t want to work with the chaos at IQVIA for Recruiting. We are told from day one to never disagree with the process of background checks because the team will not work on candidates backgrounds, they play favorites and end up messing with peoples lives. I knew one month into starting this was a huge mistake. I was hoping it would have been amazing here but it was the opposite, always have plan B ready to quit and again don’t give a two week notice!

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
