Pros

Fully remote work Good benefits Diverse project experiences Highly intelligent and industry-leading colleagues

Cons

When I started at this company, RQM+ was all about their culture and actually enforced it and I genuinely loved it, but now it's a total joke and while communication has been consistent, the messages have been very ambiguous, unclear, and/or misleading. I've never seen such an incompetent group of executives and directors in my career, so congratulations on running, what was a successful consulting business, into the ground - Splendid work! If this were an Olympic sport, this group is definitely winning gold. I'm predicting RQM+ won't even be a company within the next year considering all the layoffs happening. And, I can guanrantee you that any consultant still working here is actively seeking a more stable role elsewhere. Top talent has been laid off and is leaving willingly, RQM+ overcharges their clients for their services, which is why there aren't any incoming projects/signings.

Thank you for your input and perspective, we value employee feedback. Over the last several months we began taking steps to refine our focus to enhance both our internal culture and our external presence. To achieve this, we are concentrating on fewer but more impactful operating principles. These refined principles will guide us in making better decisions to foster a more fulfilling work environment. Our goal is to create a culture where everyone feels empowered, valued, and aligned with our shared mission.

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.
