Pros

CEO has one of the highest pay packages in the industry- makes proportionally more than pharmaceutical companies 5 times IQVIA size - called out by the WSJ - a badge of shame

Cons

Very much a cowboy environment where each leader seeks singular credit versus a true vision helping future direction beyond catchy sound bites - no real unique substance - company is not truly integrated with multiple life science acquisitions

Pros

Good coworkers, decent benefits. Interesting work happening in some parts of the company.

Cons

By the time I left, I felt a bit like a piece of flotsam being tossed about by the waves. The company has increased a lot in size in the last few years through acquisitions and mergers. That, combined with significant changes in directions and occasional reorganizations when upper management turns over, can leave teams on the ground feeling directionless or like working toward any goal is a futile effort. It was pretty dispiriting.

Work-Life balance, but poor compensation

Pros

*100% Work from home * Unlimited vacation time *Excellent work life balance *Challenging work with the appropriate support to complete it

Cons

*Pay raises are below cost of living. Even with excellent review ratings, your raise will be below the standard 3% cost of living. *After working here for 6 years, the perks and benefits continue to decrease dramatically. Bonuses are 30% of what they once were; insurance has gotten worse and more expensive; computer, physical activity, and other reimbursements all eliminated. All this while the stock price of the company has doubled. *Once you get here, there will not be increases in your compensation, only decreases (in the form of increased our of pocket costs).
