ASIAN APPLICANTS: STAY AWAY from roles at the MASC team - Consultant IQVIA Employee Review

If you are considering positions within the Market Access Strategy Consulting (MASC) team, it's important to carefully evaluate the company's culture and practices, particularly regarding diversity and inclusion. Based on observations and experiences, there appear to be significant challenges in the treatment and advancement of Asian employees within the team: 1. The demographic composition seems heavily skewed, with a notably low percentage of Asian employees. 2. Recent layoffs disproportionately affected Asian employees, raising concerns about equitable employment practices. 3. There has been a noticeable lack of progression or promotion for Asian employees in recent cycles – to be more specific, ZERO Asian employees were progressed/promoted. 4. A trend of Asian employees either being laid off, leaving the company, or actively seeking opportunities elsewhere has been observed. Further, the team's approach to data analytics and decision-making appears to be a point of concern. There seems to be a lack of genuine data analytics expertise, with promotions and recognition potentially being influenced more by personal favoritism than merit. This approach might undervalue hard work and encourage the presentation of misleading or manipulated data. Given IQVIA's access to extensive claims data, there has been a reliance on data dumping rather than in-depth analysis, potentially contributing to a detrimental team culture. In comparison to competitors who are making strides in analytics, the MASC team's future prospects may be uncertain. The team's growth statistics in 2023, which were underwhelming, could be indicative of underlying issues. Prospective applicants, especially those from Asian backgrounds, might want to consider these factors carefully before making a decision.
