Pros

IQVIA has an annual bonus in March, depending on personal performance as assessed by the Line Manager. The percentage/amount is based on the company's performance. The annual salary adjustment in July, almost everyone gets a rating of "3 = At Expectations" and that's an adjustment to keep up with inflation (i.e., about 2%).

Cons

IQVIA is a company that seems to be struggling to compete since the pandemic started. All the long-standing employees (i.e., those who have been there for 10+ years) are leaving because they are not being listened to and are being severely undervalued. IQVIA is losing so much talent. The hours are getting longer and so are the to-do lists, since certain departments are expected to perform above and beyond their scope, without any type of compensation. I had to perform at the next designation up at all times and when I got a promotion, I was expected to do the same and work the next designation up for years... This is not how a company should operate.

Pros

If you have very low self esteem and enjoy slavery IQVIA Gurgaon is your best destination

Cons

The purpose of setting up office in India was to create a slave society for IQVIA consulting firms across the world so that any staffing issues can be resolved at a very low cost. IQVIA Gurgaon is an outsourced office which rents its employees to consulting unit on an hourly basis to do clerical jobs. You will not be assigned to any specific projects, just a random tasks on a very tight timeline (you will not have prior knowledge about the project). The consulting wing people will make you feel like a micro organism and will seek to exploit you as much as possible in exchange for hourly rates (~20$ per hour). The senior management in India are just security guards who act as dictators to enforce the stakeholders crazy workload is completed and ensure the employee is so overworked that they commit suicide. Senior management will not help you with any technical aspects of the job, they are just there to punish you for any mistake. Don't trust the fake reviews you see here, the work culture is more toxic than cobra snake venom. Undoubtedly, IMHO the worst company in India to work for. If you don't trust me please feel free to check out. More than 50% of the new hires resign within 1 year and the experience you gather will not help you in your career.

Pros

Location, smart people within the team hired based on credentials rather than fit-of-culture

Cons

Toxic culture - result of bad management, gossipy culture, long working hours, despite being in a consulting setting sometimes teamwork is not optimal (depends on ur TEAM) and lastly, very political setting
