Pros

The company really cares about their employees. Last year there was a lot of struggle given the economic hardship and the demand was much lower. IQVIA leadership found a way to retain many employees, whether that was moving them to new jobs or departments to avoid laying them off.

Cons

We have had 3-4 reorgs in the past year. The job I was hired for multiple years ago is nowhere close to the job I am doing now. The downside, is they don't have any clear paths forward for the employees that were moved. I have been getting deflected on attempts to get back to my old job (which I loved) for nearly a year now. It is not necessarily anyone's fault, there really is no answer or path. But that makes it hard to be motivated and excited to work. IQIVA is a wonderful place to work and to be, but it is a tough time to be working here right now. When the demand for our business begins to pick back up, this is the place you will want to be.

No work life balance

Pros

Work from home but have to go see patients in the field. Love the patients.

Cons

No work life balance! Case loads too big. Work with 3 drugs and 3-9 indication. Work 60+ hours week depending on size of territory. Management clueless- don’t know what they do but they work us to death and don’t understand or care and question why we would have to work so many hours. Constantly giving us more work, trainings, meetings. No vacation coverage. Basically you kill yourself the week before and week after. Only 4 weeks vacation a year!

Toxic work culture with quite firing

Pros

Option to work from home, work remote within India

Cons

I work with the Public Health team of IQVIA and this has been the experience for most of us here. Toxic work culture with unsaid expectation from employees to work long hours and on the weekends. Employees who do not work long hours, and are available at all times including weekends are given a low rating which leads to quite firing (little or no salary increase, keeping employee out of loop, increased workload). If you ask for leave your workload will be increased drastically that will make you question why did I even apply for leave or asked to compensate hours that you are taking leave for (leave is very much part of employee right!). They do not give you any training and expect top quality deliverables. When you ask for mentoring/training the answer is google it. This toxic work culture forces employees to resign. Save yourself from this toxic work culture and do not join. Don't expect high salary for the amount of workload expected from you. Pay is below market!! I highly suggest you connect with a former employee who worked in this practice irrespective of geography. Attrition rate is very high which obviously speaks of the culture and why people leave within months of joining. Middle East and Africa, India, South East Asia, Asia Pacific - all have Public Health practice and unfortunately the culture remains same: TOXIC
