Pros
Learning opportunities due to increasing workload - resume builder. Process changes are good to know and have experience with but it's increasingly obvious it is ONLY about the bottom line. Big company - name recognition.
Cons
Increasing workload prevents healthy work-life balance and low morale is spreading. Minimal merit increases per year - mgmt continually cites that Quintiles' salaries are higher than competitors. Rating system is changing towards an orientation to lower ratings for everyone - gives the impression that it really doesn't matter how well you do throughout the year. Obvious orientation towards outsourcing to lower cost regions - seems to be no concern about losing some great talent in lay-offs. Low moral seems to be spreading - people at various levels are stressed and overloaded. Seems to be too many managers/levels of mgmt and Senior Mgmt appears to be completely out of touch with what's going on 'on the ground.' Lower-level mgmt is helpful as much as they can be but they have increasing inability to make final decisions at their level.
