Pros

IQVIA has an annual bonus in March, depending on personal performance as assessed by the Line Manager. The percentage/amount is based on the company's performance. The annual salary adjustment in July, almost everyone gets a rating of "3 = At Expectations" and that's an adjustment to keep up with inflation (i.e., about 2%).

Cons

IQVIA is a company that seems to be struggling to compete since the pandemic started. All the long-standing employees (i.e., those who have been there for 10+ years) are leaving because they are not being listened to and are being severely undervalued. IQVIA is losing so much talent. The hours are getting longer and so are the to-do lists, since certain departments are expected to perform above and beyond their scope, without any type of compensation. I had to perform at the next designation up at all times and when I got a promotion, I was expected to do the same and work the next designation up for years... This is not how a company should operate.

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.
