Pros

Plenty of challenging projects to work on. Great pay and benefits. Solid company and is a leader in the Clinical Research industry. Can work from home.

Cons

No matter how well you perform, you could be part of the annual layoffs so beware. Quintiles manages the company like 'Hunger Games'. Someone is going die (be removed). Very, very political org. Open environment so the office is very noisy.

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.
