Pros

IQVIA looks good on a resume for when you inevitably leave.

Cons

-Absolutely no work-life balance, be prepared to work 65 hour weeks of high stress work with peaks up to 80 hours. -This is not consulting, it's a market research firm vailed as strategy. -Moving up the ladder at IQVIA is completely political. -The consulting practice is completely understaffed, but principals continue to sell work with no real plans to remedy this issue. -Upper management is completely uninterested in the work after they sell, so don't expect any collaboration or meaningful knowledge transfer. -Project managers are rude, self-absorbed, play favorites, and couldn't care less how much work they put on your plate, or if that work is even necessary to the project. -Turnover is higher than I could have ever imagined. The consulting practice is around 500 employees and 6-8 people leave each month, with maybe 1-2 new hires coming in each month. Despite this, as mentioned above, seniors continue to sell work driving up hours and reducing the quality of the work.
