Worked for 2 years in Quintiles and saw the transformation from Quintiles to QuintilesIMS - in that many jobs was cut without any reason. QuintilesIMS follow "hire and fire" process.
1. Management does not care about the employee welfare and considers only their sole welfare.
2. The timings are very un-human starts at 6 am in the morning and ends at 2 pm (that's on papers and you have to overstretch every time)
3. No overtime compensation is provided to the employee. At time of joining the company, HR will say that over time is around 2500 INR, but in actual, they will never give this amount
4. The work load is soo much that no personal life remains for the employee and it becomes mandatory to the employee to do overstretching every time and day.
5. The project manager has enough liberty from the top management to say or even lie with the employees to get the things done and in turn, nothing can be done.
6. The HR department is extremely unhelpful. Instead of protecting the employee welfare they always support the management even though the management is wrong in many instances.
7. The organization says in papers Saturday and Sunday and public holiday off, but in actual you have to work on every Saturday and on some Sundays too, even on public holidays like Diwali, Eid, Independence day (15th August), every holiday you have to work.
8. An employee cannot approach directly to HR or top level management for their complain it is treated like a non-compliance issue and together they will ensure to make your life hell.
9. No motivation at all, life becomes monotonous even depression comes (observed many my colleagues been to depression)
10. No opportunities and only Neoptim works
11. Pay scale is very low compared to industry terms.
So, in nutshell, if you are thinking to join QuintilesIMS , then, think 1000 times before making your life hell and if you have already joined this organization then, all the best you are already been to hell. Good luck.
