Pros

Full time benefits are ok. flexible vacation time but on discretion of managers then judged on return about deliverables even if sick leave.

Cons

Extreme micro management of managers and like a sorority culture with no benefit of doubt even though deliverables met . Not a good place to work ,they work you till you fall apart then try to say you are not up to the standards. Very difficult for promotion or growth unless you are "favored" by the superiors!!

Pros

- Pay is ok, although a significant portion is tied to bonus - IQVIA is a well known name, so likely looks good on a resume - Work from home 2 days a week - Mostly good coworkers who want to help patients - 21 days PTO plus holidays

Cons

- If you want to meet your metrics, you will work evenings, weekends, and holidays to work with patient schedules. - If you don't, you will hear about it and be threatened with a performance improvement plan. - Your metrics (and your team's) will constantly be compared to coworkers. They are obsessed with numbers here and they want a competition. Kind of like pharmaceutical sales, but without the pay. - You will be pressured to do injection training with every patient even if they have already received injection training with their HCP. - You will be pressured to meet quotas for video calls. - You will be questioned if too many new enrollments decline ambassador follow up (even though it's voluntary and enrollment is not always patient initiated). - You will be micromanaged and have meetings every 2-4 weeks with your managers, which involves them listening to your video and phone calls, reviewing metrics reports, and setting an improvement goal for the following month.

Pros

Compensation is decent. Some benefits. Locations are good. Talented people.

Cons

I joined the company with a view to making an impact on patients and clients in Healthcare. IMS at the time, later IQVIA has a major culture problem. Managers are rude, arrogant and treat staff with contempt. As a Senior Principal I watched annual reviews go rogue, people being demoted or fired for not kissing the ring. Worst of all, men in power taking advantage of younger female employees. 2 of the men in my office, both married were having affairs with ladies in their own department. HR is the worse I have encountered in my 20 years in business: candidates are repeatedly lied to, promised increases, promotions and perks they cannot be given. We had 3 complaints for bullying and HR just tried to quash them. The two men who caused these, I found out, had been together at a major consulting firm. They were misogynistic and often said slurs about women and gay people, immigrants out loud in meetings. Do yourselves a favour and seek other places to help your career and your clients. IQVIA is a relic of everything that is wrong with corporate culture.
