Pros

For executives, they have a "take as you need" vacation policy with no set amount of time. And it appears that some people actually do take advantage of this. Also, their HQ buildings in both Durham and Reading are very nice.

Cons

Very poor on boarding, virtually no process. Difficult for an "outsider" to learn the in's and out's of what's needed to succeed. Otherwise, the company is completely over-processed, so much so that it's difficult to get any work done. Colleagues will stab you in the back. Senior management demands are completely unrealistic. The CEO is a clueless consultant that doesn't know how to actually run a business. Really tough, painful place to work. Lot's of unhappy campers who smile on the surface, but underneath are seething.

Pros

Salaries were competitive. The market has been resistant to economic downturns, so it was a good place to work through the various ups and downs of the early 2000's.

Cons

Leadership does not value employees. In IT you are encouraged to have a "work life balance" yet pressured to work 50-60-70 hours a week. Those who don't (work this much) get lower review scores at the end of the year. Leadership does not listen to its employees. You cannot be the dissenting voice in the crowd. Follow blindly and do not speak out.

Pros

Typical Pros: average salary, job security (you won't get fired at Quintiles), good benefits, metrics are average, decent per diem (but not worth it anymore)...the hours requried for full re-imbursment or not possible.

Cons

OUTSOURCE, OUTSOURCE, OUTSOURCE....If you want to spend your hard earned time traveling and writing quality reports only to have your report comments sent back 4-5 times for rediculous revisions please accept a Q positon. Reports are outsourced to India employees that don't have experience in clinical research. This model is horrible and not worth the average salary and headache.
