Pros

IQB has exciting work (cutting edge biotech clients) and great team members/colleagues. It's also nice to be a small spinoff from the main "mothership" but still have access to the incredible technology the main company offers.

Cons

The work NEVER ENDS. Never. The company promotes "work-life balance" but it is impossible to achieve if one is to fulfill their deliverables. You either sacrifice your CTM work to complete the multiple (and often redundant) metric reporting systems, or you complete the reporting systems on time and neglect your clients. OR: you work 7 days a week to attempt to accomplish both and still don't get either one done.

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.
