Pros

Really hard to find any other than it's a job

Cons

You will not feel appreciated. You will be pushed to generate billable hours over the base 40 (there is no compensation for this) Vacation must be booked 45 days in advance and have multiple approvals. All staff are under a 30 day no billable hours termination policy. Stress is extremely high as no PTO is accrued. and you are at the whims of a sales group with constantly changing metrics from the Private Equity that bought the company. Leadership is detached from the staff. If you are a professional at another company know that coming here outside of the leadership group will make you a temp worker. The PE is too busy on acquisitions to focus on fixing issues. The company mantra is "the plus is the people", the company has no IP, no factories, the product is the people and THEIR knowledge. loose that and loose everything.

Pros

Non-lab roles can work remotely. There's a $50 remote work stipend.

Cons

Benefits are subpar at best. The health insurance has high premiums. The company is revamping itself to a medtech CRO. They keep laying off valuable people and great leadership is leaving. If you ever decide to work here just know that you will be burnt out. Prepare to work long hours, nights and sometimes weekends just to meet their unrealistic deliverables and timelines. My department was always short staffed and they didn't care but proceeded to layoff more people. Only certain people's opinion mattered more than anyone elses. All the attention and opportunities went to specific people. It's hard to work when leadership plays favorites and punishes those who don't play well with their favorites. I'm glad I left.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that your time at RQM left you feeling this way. We understand that periods of change—such as our transition into a medtech CRO—can create challenges. These changes have involved difficult decisions, including restructuring efforts, which we recognize have had an impact on our teams. We are working hard to better support employees during this time, including improving communication, evaluating workloads, and investing in leadership development. Regarding your comments on benefits and staffing: we know these are important concerns. We're actively reviewing our benefits offerings, including health coverage, to stay competitive and meet employee needs. We also recognize the importance of workload balance and equitable treatment, and are taking steps to address these issues more consistently across the organization. While it's disappointing to hear that you felt favoritism and lack of support in your department, your feedback has been shared with our leadership team as part of our commitment to building a more inclusive and supportive work culture.
