With the merger, they said it was going to be a new company but really they are just using INC's procedures/policy/culture. Personally, I don't think management really took time to learn the culture of Inventiv Health and try to incorporate it into this new company. When they got rid of the Line Managers (LM) overnight a year ago, that was the indication that they did not care about truly trying to merge both companies. They put these additional tasks on the CTLs and did not give them adequate support/training. Which caused Inventiv staff that had been working on career advancement with their Line Managers to be left in the dark because the CTLs were not use to that function. So, it looked like the people that did get promoted were from the INC group. Why? Because their CTLs were used to doing both roles. Also, I'm not sure if the company got to big but IT and TMF groups were horrible and just caused more frustration. Sometimes, it felt like no one/no group knew how things were supposed to work.
Also, I knew several people that tried to move to different departments and followed the correct process and never heard anything from HR/recruiter or whoever. Not even anything to say their submission had been received or even denied. Nothing. However, we would hear about how many new people they were hiring. The company was more concerned about getting new people instead of helping their current people.
