Pros
Great co-workers Opportunities for special projects and a variety of clients/indications Great leadership for the most part
Cons
Legacy inVentiv was an excellent place to work, but since merging with INC, Syneos is no longer a great place to work. Their main focus is metrics and $$ now, which is understandable in the business world, but employee engagement does not seem to matter in the slightest. In my department, there became too much work and not enough resources. The merger was not handled well. Leadership focused solely on the placement of leadership and employees were unclear, for months, about what was happening to their position, only to find out that promised promotions were not available. The merger was actually more of an acquisition of inVentiv by INC. Most of the company’s BUs have switched to INC processes/systems. INC folks were not interested in changing any of their processes and complain at the slightest change while inVentiv folks basically have a new job.
