Pros

I've been at IMS for a few years. Decent pay, vacation time and perks. There are some very talented people here.

Cons

The workload is so unbalanced that you can't even take advantage of the company perks offered for work/life balance. Management has no regard for their employee's personal time and expects them to do whatever it takes to get the work done after hours (on a consistent basis) and shows absolutely no appreciation for the extra efforts. I have never felt so unvalued in my entire career, and unmotivated. Managers could use some basic people management training because they are lacking. They do nothing to motivate employees. The unprofessionalism I have seen is unbelievable for a company this size, and even within HR. They only care about themselves and senior management, and manage their employees by bullying them.

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.
