Pros

Unlimited career options and good growth potential in most areas, you learn a ton, they are a strong leader in most areas they conduct research in, especially clinical trial and real world evidence studies.

Cons

Benefits and culture on a serious downhill slide since merger with IMS (from legacy Q perspective). Different areas of the company that overlap in services compete with each other rather than collaborate and this seems to be encouraged. All male leaders (very rare exceptions) at the top in an organization that is probably more than half female in ranks. Respect for medical and scientific expertise over selling data has slipped.

Resources and access to good studies to be successful in research, immediate PTO benefits, 401k match.

Growth opportunities/compensation - besides the annual merit raises of <3 percent I haven’t gotten a raise in 5 years.

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.
