Pros

Lots of opportunities, pretty decent salary and benefits. Lots of exceptional people to work with.

Cons

IMS was a fantastic company when I first joined in 2003, but I saw a major downhill spiral in terms of integrity when the company went private and took on new management. They went on an acquisition tear and hired lots of new blood, especially in the business development functions. The company became way too political, with lots of beaurocracy and plenty of sell-outs. I came to find that the more politically savvy you are (i.e. not afraid to step on people and lie to clients), the faster you will get ahead. I watched some of the best employees get squeezed out or laid off. It just wasn't for me and so I chose to move on.

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
