Quintiles...a great place to work in an industry that is helping humanity.

Pros

It is a great enviroment to work in and advancement is available. The company is growing so things change rapidly. The senior management listens to the employees and makes changes when necessary. The strategy of the company is explained regularly and the progess that is being made is rewarded. Hard work is rewarded financially as well as with perks. The work that is done if for the greater good of humanity.

Cons

Work life balance is hard to manage becuase the company is growing so quickly. Additional the department that I am apart of needs work to be consistent with the rest of the company. This is currently being addressed with large changes to the structure of the department.

Pros

Strong marketing brand, good salary.

Cons

Highly political and toxic leadership with no care to employee well-being. There is no such thing as internal movement even though they invest in it. They don’t have any real capability in technology or true data and analytics. Their data asset coverage is not competitive.

Pros

There are none to speak of.

Cons

Too many to list - tone-deaf executives (all overpaid), terrible bonuses and raises, and awful benefits. The execs crow about the high stock price but there's no employee stock purchase program. I was doing my job and my former manager's for more than 5 years. And after 8+ years, I got a mere two-week severance. It's a multibillion company that does not care one bit about its employees. They quietly fire continuously to avoid the WARN Act. It was a good company when it was Quintiles but no more. And top sales and business leaders NEVER action the insights we would get from clients.
