Pros

Compensation is decent. Some benefits. Locations are good. Talented people.

Cons

I joined the company with a view to making an impact on patients and clients in Healthcare. IMS at the time, later IQVIA has a major culture problem. Managers are rude, arrogant and treat staff with contempt. As a Senior Principal I watched annual reviews go rogue, people being demoted or fired for not kissing the ring. Worst of all, men in power taking advantage of younger female employees. 2 of the men in my office, both married were having affairs with ladies in their own department. HR is the worse I have encountered in my 20 years in business: candidates are repeatedly lied to, promised increases, promotions and perks they cannot be given. We had 3 complaints for bullying and HR just tried to quash them. The two men who caused these, I found out, had been together at a major consulting firm. They were misogynistic and often said slurs about women and gay people, immigrants out loud in meetings. Do yourselves a favour and seek other places to help your career and your clients. IQVIA is a relic of everything that is wrong with corporate culture.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
