Pros

QuintilesIMS is a great company, with a excellent top level management at the GM, VP , SVP level. Company has great benefits such as pension and bonus.

Cons

Legacy CRM team in Warren, NJ has a very hostile and toxic work culture. Source of the toxic culture is a open secret on the floor. Employee's are constantly harassed in front of other colleagues. Name calling and ridiculing employees is very common. Most managers in legacy CRM team in Warren micromanage. Performance reviews are rigged. Engineering team in Warren, nj lacks technology leadership and hence the product quality is a mess. Think of it more like a sinking ship. Department is moving the Development process to Agile, but this process is a sham. Most of the Agile principles are violated per design.Favouritism is openly done and unqualified people are secretly promoted without communication to anyone. Promotions are based on who has lunch with whom. CRM Product uses a proprietary underlying legacy technology, which doesn't have any documentation and is very difficult to work with.

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.
