Pros

You get paid at the end of the month

Cons

Horrifically unintegrated company, leading to operational inefficiencies and lots of extra manual work just to "make things work". Every team does their own thing their own way, good luck trying to integrate teams on larger projects. 4+ years following the merger and people are still "legacy-Quintiles" or "legacy-IMS". Both legacy organisations use different systems, processes, etc... Again, good luck integrating teams and coming across as a unified company to clients. Lastly the company did not deal with COVID well: despite clear financial health throughout the pandemic, bonuses and promotions were frozen leading to the loss of many great people. Laptops don't work, the servers were very slow following the shift to work from home, yet the company did nothing to fix the basic IT issues which affect day-to-day productivity. 6 months has been enough to make up my mind: IQVIA is a sorely mismanaged company, with a bottom line saved only by its tech assets and proprietary data.

Pros

- Great work / life balance, leadership wonderful dependent on team, collaborative coworkers, everyone try to help each other

Cons

- internal processes too long, hard to progress career if you are not loyal to certain leaders, sometimes we get in our own way to service our customers, internal bottlenecks between sales and delivery at times. If you are someone who likes to follow processes this is a good place, if you are someone who thinks outside of the box and pushes the envelope of change for betterment or more efficiency - you could be frustrated
