Not a company anymore, Favoritism at its peak

Pros

This company does not even deserve one star, as it will ruin your career and life no matter how much money or position is promised. At the end of the day you will just be puppets in the hand of management and no matter how much time and energy you might invest, the company will be zero interested in your professional growth. This is not a professional Company, but a home setup which is the epitome of , where only a handful of yes-man employees, who are close to the management are considered as human beings. The ex-Partners now directors really do not care about anyone else and are actually quite transparent about this verbally and in their behavior. The rules of engagement for everyone else is quite different. Foolish HR policies and team. Fake promises made during the interviews and now even became worst after Acquistion by IQVIA. Many old and senior employees left resulting into anxiety and terror in current employees. No vision and transparency. Avg. 16 hours of work, favour given to girl employees. Partners and Seniors are in close junior girls in the team which is highly demotivating. It was my worst decision to join the company.

Cons

Covered above but yes Pool Table in cafeteria (not allowed to play) and WFH (PM's dont give it)

Pros

Nice people, work-life balance for mothers (they let you work from home)

Cons

Many perks that we used to get are gone with the new management who is very cheap, health benefits are worse this year than ever before, bonuses are a joke and our salaries barely increase. Seems like management doesn't care about the people

Pros

None. IQVIA (pronounced ick-via) is a terrible company.

Cons

Too many to list. Quintiles never should have merged with IMS Health. IQVIA is a terrible company. Private Equity/Executive leadership just uses this company as their own personal ATM. Our cash flow is terrible. IMS leadership's business philosophy is to leverage the company with debt to enable growth. Employee benefits that have been eliminated: -Micro purchase plan: company would give you $1200 every 3 years to buy a new computer. -Healthy rewards: company would have a health fair where they would take your biometric screenings. If you were in the target range, you and your spouse could qualify for $2,000 that would go towards your deductible. -$30 monthly gym reimbursement. -Healthcare: shifted from Cigna to Aetna. Shifts all the costs from the company to the end user. Had to get the terrible HSA option. Ari Bousbib, CEO follows the Gordon Gekko style of management; greed is good is his motto. He obviously read Jim Collins book, "From Good to Great" and is doing the exact opposite. He gets a bloated $40 million salary and $19 million bonus. Meanwhile, the rest of us suffer. Layoffs are ongoing. Management said there wouldn't be anymore in October 2016 then the whole vendor management department got laid off right before Christmas. Completely heartless company. Employee morale is at an all time low. Goodluck advancing your career here. Employees leave and they don't back-fill because they are too cheap. They re-distribute the work and expect you to get it done without offering any pay incentives or a simple thank you.
