Pros

most colleagues were very friendly

Cons

The senior management are horrible. It is quite common in Quitiles that your line manager kick the most difficult tasks to you when you just started, and you were told that you can pass it to the next new person as your manager did. The senior management protect each others, so there is no accountability. No work and life balance, you have to work at evenings and weekends to meet their requirements.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
