Punishing management style

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly people, good marketing of services, good pay

Cons

Across departments, negative style of management, very punishing and blaming people instead of process/cross department issues for delay. The solution was always to replace people. I have never seen anything like this after 20 year of work across many companies.

Everything changed negatively since the merger

Business Outlook

Pros

Possibility to work 2 days from home per week

Cons

When INC and InVentiv Health merged in 2017 everything started to change negatively and rapidly. The work was not assigned fairly as the legacy InVentiv were not used to work at the same paste as INC. The pressure got worse, too many assignments for a single employee which resulted in people being connected at crazy hours and working on weekends and during PTO has become "normal". In 2018 the evaluations were downgraded for everyone so we would just "achieve expectations" although we would be in the range "exceeded expectations". The top came early 2019 when they announced to discuss our contracts with a possible decrease in number or PTOs and RTTs (French office)
