Pros

Compensation is decent. Some benefits. Locations are good. Talented people.

Cons

I joined the company with a view to making an impact on patients and clients in Healthcare. IMS at the time, later IQVIA has a major culture problem. Managers are rude, arrogant and treat staff with contempt. As a Senior Principal I watched annual reviews go rogue, people being demoted or fired for not kissing the ring. Worst of all, men in power taking advantage of younger female employees. 2 of the men in my office, both married were having affairs with ladies in their own department. HR is the worse I have encountered in my 20 years in business: candidates are repeatedly lied to, promised increases, promotions and perks they cannot be given. We had 3 complaints for bullying and HR just tried to quash them. The two men who caused these, I found out, had been together at a major consulting firm. They were misogynistic and often said slurs about women and gay people, immigrants out loud in meetings. Do yourselves a favour and seek other places to help your career and your clients. IQVIA is a relic of everything that is wrong with corporate culture.
