Pros

Fully-remote/work from home, career progression ladder

Cons

I worked remotely for the Global BIOS team for 4 months. The department is incredibly understaffed right now so everybody is being overworked to try to get projects completed on time. I was constantly working 50-60 hours per week but told not to bill all my hours because my studies were running out of hours. But then because my billable hours looked low (<90%), they were assigning me more review work and studies so I was regularly working late into the night. I received snarky emails from the BIOS Resourcing Team when I tried to secure programming resources and felt totally unsupported by them. But then I was yelled at by my Project Manager and client, being told it was "not an option" for me to not complete studies by the agreed upon deadline. I quickly felt totally burned out from working so hard and feeling totally unappreciated and unsupported. It's worth noting that shortly before I left the internal professional women's network hosted an "Out of Overwhelm" workshop for overwhelmed female employees. Maybe if you need to host a workshop for all of your overwhelmed employees, something else within your business needs to change. I was sold a different version of the company during my interview process and was so disappointed by the reality of IQVIA. I was really heartbroken to leave because I hoped it would be a company I would stay with for a long time, but I know leaving was the best decision for my mental health.

Pros

The team was great to work with and the general work environment was hard to beat

Cons

It felt like sales and upper management completely dropped the ball with our product. We had what could have been a large success in the market but we were too ignored to really push ourselves towards new customers. Pretty much the whole team was laid off as a result.
