IQVIA reviews

I worried that many of my issues were due to my being new. But the things I note below are very much still issues for most of those who've been in the company for many years: - Terrible work/life balance - Staffing on multiple projects simultaneously is a mess with little effort made to ensure both projects don't well exceed 100% of your allotted time - Crazy, variable, last-minute deadlines which could often be avoided - Seniors very often overpromise to sell projects based on hype, and then don't take responsibility for underdelivering, sometimes blaming juniors for not being able to execute on them - Work is ultimately monotonous and unrewarding - Projects often rehash the same, potentially unreliable material - Benefits/salary is well below competitors - Team structures are very silo'd and competitive, meaning it can often be hard to get internal resources you need to complete a project - For a company that prides itself on using tech to tackle big problems in Pharma, the tech infrastructure accessible to consulting is dire, antiquated and often gate-kept by teams who are not fully onboard with it being used for consulting projects

Half my team got laid off with no notice. Just a phone call saying we were terminated immediately due to "business goals not being met." This came with an abysmal severance- 4 weeks' worth, with insurance ending in two days. They also took our bonus away. It feels borderline illegal. I had a glowing performance review TWO DAYS prior, then my director laid off me without my boss knowing-my boss found out ON MY LINKEDIN POST about a half hour later. Then, they lay her off too. She was PREGNANT. Please beware if you work here. Cyclical layoffs due to headcount games and an incredibly mishandled business. Your job is not secure, and this apparently happens every year. Please go somewhere that values their people.
